Wednesday, trackstanding, bullhorns. Loose stem head bolt. Went to move off, bars dropped. Ok, I thought - went to grab brake. Hands slipped off bar as TT lever came out of bar. Bar tape slides off, leaving me pedalling furiously as a head over the bars, first in the line of traffic.
smooth!

never had a big crash. but sometime in may i was riding down this side street near my school and i could see all the track people going around the track. and there's this stupid, small, but high speed bump that i tried to go around but i guess i hit the sidewalk and fell kinda hard. all the people (some) saw it. oh well

I was 10 years old and about to meet a girl for my first ever date. I had a new green Shwinn 10 speed. I even put on a shirt and tie! Just as I saw her across the street a cop pulled me over to give me a ticket for riding on the wrong side of the road, When I tried to stop I managed to use the front brake only and did a flying flip arse over tits over the handlebars! I landed on my feet with the bike behind me and still holding on to the bars, Girl watching and laughing the whole time. The cop still gave me the ticket.

Drinking with Murtle all day on the first lgfg drinks session (just me and murtle) riding home, distracted by a billboard and rode into a curb. Got back home to wait for my girlfriend to get home, we were going out for dinner but we had to get a take away due to the state of my face.

About a year ago tried jumping off my single speed to see how far it would go by itself (smart aint it...)and i catch my leg between the rear wheel and the seat tube and the chain rips the skin of my leg. Alot of blood and admitted into hospital for 3 days because of blood poisoning from greasy chain.

crash no. 1
today while doing a trial run of the tweed ride, i hit a dog in london fields. the bike lane was empty so i was trucking along. suddenly a greyhound bounds out from behind some bushes and infront of my path. i swerved to avoid the dog, only to hit the one that was chasing it. the dog was okay. i, however, ripped my favourite jeans and have road rash all down my thighs. oh. and i put a massive dent into my (new) macbook. and bent my campy pista crankset. fuuuuuuck. lucky tour de ville was close by and jos and keith bent my chainring back into shape-ish, but my crankarm is still really not right and will need to be replaced. hmmmmm.crash no. 2
on friday i hit a woman on regents street. she ran out into the road without looking and side tackled me. we both ended up on the floor. i was going pretty slow at the time so neither of us was hurt. i turned to her and said, "watch where the fuck you're going!" and she replied, indignantly, "well that's no reason to swear at random strangers!" and then i felt really bad that i'd sworn at her. but not for hitting her, of course ;)

Sternum to concrete floor, aged 16, trying to impress girls with trial rear-wheel bunny hops on my mountain bike. The pain in my rear end went after a week, the hole in my dignity has never healed, and the experience presumably affected my ability to form meaning relationships with females, hence what I'm doing on this forum instead of having a blazing row down B&Q on a Sunday afternoon...
A galvanising experience for a young man, best crash ever.
