Draw your own collisions

So that's Holland or East Anglia then? No thanks. Besides, I like Muswell....

It wasn't the hills fault, it had a lot more to do with me riding no handed while eating really hot chips and not looking where I was going. Still, totally worth it, they were great chips. New wheel in and took the opportunity to give the bb a long overdue service.

I almost had something similar today - riding along eating some fucking delicious chocolate peanuts with both hands, and start to keel over in the wind. My reflexive response was to eat the peanuts quicker, so I could put my hands on the bars. Leaning over at 30 degrees, chomping on nuts like a fucking loon. No chance my subconscious was letting me drop those tasty bastards.

This happened a little while ago, just out to a meeting in the west end mid morning. I roll past Ludgate Circus short climb up Fleet Street. Car traffic queuing to turn right at the lights. I am heading straight on. Then stationary car decides to pull out and turn left, no signal, no warning. I guess he was being too impatient to look around.

I am riding fixed with toe straps. I slam the front brake and somehow manage to leapfrog my handle bars and land on my feet, the bike collapses behind me. The driver stops and looks at me in awe, and the peds around break out in applause. I take a bow, pick up bike.. I asked the driver if he knew where he was heading, cos I didn't have a fricking clue.

I made it to my meeting, pretty upset though.. Okay I know there wasn't a collision.

A chip appreciation society seems to be in order soon

Nice pic but can't find poo.

Also is Ludgate Circus still a circus? I was a shit circus anyway, never had any elephants.

This is what you get for riding your bike like an Egyptian hieroglyph.

^^ That looks like a bird to me.

On dat.

just a guess...

Ah, I assumed that was a passing chicken.

passing chickens are the new poo.

Ha! Excellent!!

Me, about an hour ago...
Pembroke road decent, eating delicious piping hot chips, anticipating the joy and mystery of the battered sausage I'd just bought to celebrate completeing my tax return. Evil pothole of death(which I have to avoid every day) suddenly attacks me from nowhere.
Not entirely sure what happened next but find myself lying on the floor, still holding my chips(only 4-5ish dropped) with bike 5m down the hill without a mark on it aside from the fact my rear wheel is now egg shaped. I appear to escaped unscathed aside from a sore forearm and foot.
Chips were a bit cold by the time I'd walked home but still delicious....

Hehe!! Similar thing happened to me with lasagnas! (I saved a bit of the food!)

I love the guy at the bottom left on the pavement!

Hope you guys are all fine...

Ah, I assumed that was a passing chicken.

Probably waiting to cross the road...

why would he do that?

To get to the other side of course!

Nice move Al. Sumo did something similar the first time I met him

Happened to me about a month ago, was meant to do it since...

Amazing!

Wow, that's truly inspired! Have some rep!

Wow!

Apparently I need to spread some rep... I'll be back later.

Thats one of the best ever!

Excellent as always, looking forward to your next crash.
