Ouch...I just fell

..slippery road at dark, corner, BANG ! Next thing I know is how I try to get up
and that nice Ped asks me if I am ok. Me just mumbling
'Yeah...just trying to look stupid, ' with a painful smile..
No idea why I slipped....luckily no cars around. Man! That stuff happens so quick!
Some sophisticated elbow skid was involved too

Looking at my nice bright bruises I just remember a German Tour de France Docu
about Team T-Mobile. I think it was called 'Hölle auf Rädern' (Hell on Wheels)
There however Erik Zabel descibes how they BRUSH their bruises clean after crash.
Anyone seen that ? That must be just feel very very .... interesting !

Outch ! No shower for me tonight..instead I wish that girl in the poster will get up and bring my
tortured soul a beer from the fridge. Aua..

ha! i hope your alright mate.....your right about the car thing,thats what im most worried about!
take it easy bro!

Yeah I've seen that film - interesting, but a bit long...

Time to get your toothbrush out and exfoliate the gore :O

yeah maybe later..Helena wouldnt deliver, so I had to hobble to the fridge myself. tztztz
Ahhhh..Alcohol the cause and cure of all problems..

Ouch.

As you said very lucky you weren't on the road.

I know you weren't on the road, but anyway, it seems to me that roads in London seem to be coated in stuff that makes them more slippery - loads of painted lines everywhere, drain covers, man holes and those stupid metal squares that are on either side of pedestrian crossings embedded in the road.

yep, had that with a manhole cover on a rainy day... fscking hate them!

White lines are what get you in the end.

Never ever skid when your skid path includes a wet drain cover. My balls are still aching from the stem collision (sudden loss of resistance = sudden backward jerk of legs = sudden sex change proceedure).

I found this song on my friends ipod. Its rubbish! Or am i missing something?

I'm tripping out on the video.

rubbish!!!?? its great!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

young man - go and spend ten minutes on the naughty step and come back on the forum when you've had a word with yourself....

:^ { ] }

not me again?.......

I just realised i danced like a drunken fool to this song a few weeks ago.

I'm getting mixed messages from it. First of all it glamourises cocaine, then grandmaster flash tells me not to buy it, while making snorting noises! I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE

not you aidan - you get a gold star and a smiley face

nice!

Eek! That sounds sore. I went over on a wet manhole cover once. I was so busy looking out for lemming pedestrians - some of whom were wearing very short skirts - I didn't see the metal circle and started to lean when I was right on the top of it. It's funny, all I could think about when I was going down was how bloody stupid I was going to look. Of course, I was on a mountain bike with slicks at the time, so anyone who noticed me before I fell would have clocked me as a total pillock, anyway. :-)

Is your bike OK?

eeehhhh Ouch.

Also remember roads are bussy in London. Most vechail do not perform 100 % combustion plus many burn all be it a little amount of oil. This of course comes out of the exughst pointed down on to the roads. On less buussy roads this does not matter unless it is dry for a long time where the oil gets to build up but then when it rains it is initially very slippery until the road is washed off, very bussy bussy roads just get a build up of the oils very quickly and hence slippery roads. Another reason for Londons slippery roads.

very bussy bussy roads

Bloody buses get everywhere. One overtook me the other day only to imediately try and cut me up to pull over at a bus stop.

Made worse by the kind of rain we had yesterday - where the roads just got wet without any washing action that heavier rain would have done.

That kind of rain is a complete PITA for spectacles wearers too. No visor or hat brim can stop it.

Yeah bikes ok.Thanks. I expected that to be the first question : )

I had that yesterday... I just don't understand why they do that.

Oh, a good one one the way home. I was in the green box thingy with my missus waiting (for once) for the lights to change. Dude on an MTB with slicks (and massive wide bars) scoots between us, clipping us both and squeaks to a halt a couple of feet in front. I mention to him what a brilliant move that was, particularly when there was room either side and all he could do is grin like a cnut.

I've experienced this at first hand after a rock climbing fall left me with lacerated hands. They had a brush with small plastic bristles and used to clean out all the cuts and grazes. That hurt like a bitch. Luckily the codeine they gave me afterwards took the edge off.
