Oh the bitter bitter irony

  • After posting a thread about hitting someone and riding off the same shit happens to me. Going down Chiswick Bridge a moped pulls out infront of a van. Slam the front brake on (thats right I said front brake) and do one of those pritty flips over the bars before doing mad road skid with my body. Dude looks behind him sees me on my back and just drives off. Well that my lesson learnt. Dont drive off kids. sigh Fucking mopeds.

  • Brake

  • Stupid Dyslexia

  • Well edited to make me look a cunt! ;-)

  • Haha. Unintentional cunt-making (correct grammar?) I assure you. xx

  • that sucks, hope you're ok.

    so did you actually hit him? would he have known he caused you to crash?

    how's the bike?

  • Hope your all right, and the bike is ok.

  • Didnt actually hit him. Was too quick to brake and just flipped over the bars. Totally his fault for not looking. But defiantly saw the whites of the guys eyes whilst lying on my back before he sped off. Cracked my seat-post though. Guess thats me out for a week or so. Thanks for the concern.

  • Thats shit.

    I fecking hate mopeds, they all seem to be just fast enough to over take you, but too slow to speed away. Leaving you breathing that putrid shite that comes out of theyir exhust for a few hundred meters. Then even when I'm not on my bike, they piss me off by waking up the nippa, reving their engines outside my house.....grrr.

    Sorry for the rant.

    Is it just the seatpost (ie. not the seat tube) thats cracked? maybe you could borrow/buy one off someone on here? size?

  • Mopeds are either ridden by
    a) children
    b) unlicenced and uninsured pizza delivery guys
    c) stolen
    d) all 3

    Assume bike with L plates is ridden by a complete idiot until proven otherwise.

    Bad luck, mate - heal up quickly.
    And next time, lean back as you brake. And learn to skip stop. and countersteer.

  • real bad luck dude hope youre ok.

    i saw a car full of chavs towing another chav on a broken down moped yesterday, they were in all sorts of trouble...

  • it's possible he just thought you'd hit a pothole or something and decked it, so he didn't need to stop. he does ride a moped, might not have the sharpest perceptive skillz.

    totally his fault?!? you slammed your brake and went over the bars. learn to ride a bike.

  • you're such a hand-wringing leftie, dogs.

  • learn to ride a bike.
    Has ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

    I've changed my mind; I do actually love you Dale.

    Never hold back mate. And yes, sympathy is no longer in fashion.

    Lol!

  • you're such a hand-wringing leftie, dogs.
    why does it matter what hand i wank with?

  • totally his fault?!? you slammed your brake and went over the bars. learn to ride a bike.

    +1 You go into the back of someone (or over the bars avoiding it) and that is your fault.

  • This just sounds like a simple case of Panic Brake. You're riding to fast.

    In incidents like this you brake (but don't go over the handle bars) and/or brace yourself in such a way that he takes all of the impact. If you go over the handle bars make sure you jump over the handle bars and shoulder the guy. Assuming he weighs the same as you you should be able to land on the moped and ride away while he absorbs all of your kinetic energy and bounces off down the road.

    Think of it as a simple domino effect.

    Peace!
