Sleep-Riding

I frequently fall asleep while reading this forum. Current Projects is more effective than Mogadon.

On the other hand, the 'Last Post Wins' thread seems to have caused feverish insomnia among certain forumengers.

i've gotten up looked all over for my bike and found it outside with my keys in the door handle.

Its so funny to think back to the looking part i dont have a big house but i looked all over including in the cuboard under the stairs just in case in some drunken stupor i had decided that was a safe bike store (shows how drunk i was still when i woke up). It turned out it was in the hall that connects the upstaris flat, front door was wide open and my flat door was on the latch

Two all-nighters in a row for work, no drugs save for caffeine, no booze, middle of the day riding home after a brief kip under the desk and I 'woke up' on the bike a couple of times. Obviously only briefly out since there was not crashage. Not the smartest move to make considering Maroondah Hwy is like the A40.

yea mine was on the steps, just a half flight up from the alley. Wonder it wasn't taken, along with the food in my fridge, and the car from my garage.

My worst escapades come from when i was in Wash DC and putting back cheap beers from 3PM on every day. Combine that with friends that have no morals, an arc welder, a penchant for "rescuing" old bikes from the dumpster and the immaturity to think that mutilated bikes are fun, and you've got disaster. Broken teeth, concussions... it's a wonder i've sorted myself out as well as i have.

Ha ha all stories to tell the grand kids

According to my girlfriend I was riding my bike in bed a couple of nights ago. Pedalling away like a little maniac, apparently, whilst lying on my side. Bet I was totally winning the TdF.

Ha! Made me think of this:

That's pretty much me on a night. Except I have less fur.

There was no report of a sleep victory salute so i guess i didn't get the stage win

I went to Brixton some years ago with friends to a club. Woke up at home with a bmx in my bathroom. My friends say I found in a skip and must have cycled home to Woodford.

Maroondah Highway - would have to be one of the shittiest roads to cycle in melbourne.

Looks quite nice to me?

You should try riding around our roads......

The worst part about the Maroondah Highway is that it takes you to Ringwood.

Nunawading.

Ahh good old Croydon.. 50k/day, Croydon to Hawthorn, for about 6 years..

That photo looks empty. Midday?

Where?

Someone did this on the Bridges Ride...
Veered off into a hedge just before the footbridge.
Admitted to falling asleep.

Apparently VB's gonna find him and ban him.

I nod off all the time - mid sentence, sometimes. Particularly if there has been red wine involved earlier. And then I'm asleep like a stone - there's just no waking me.

But I never fall asleep cycling. All that adrenaline seems to keep me well dusted. But then again, I don't do lengthy rides, twenty or thirty miles is my max, so pretty much everywhere I go is done at a sprint, never end up getting into the zone and just pedalling steadily.

Oh, that happens to me, too, especially when

Was riding to school one morning looking down at my feet spinning and thinking how monotonous the motion was. Put me right asleep. Crashed into a parked car.

I fell asleep driving a few times on scary winding mountain roads in Serbia last week. Fucking horrible. Thing is I was following somebody (I had no idea where I was going) so I couldn't stop easily.

maybe you got this

I have fallen asleep about 350km into a 600km Audax: 5am warm, tired, quiet. Wobbled a bit, then woke up.
No injury or damage.

i had a mate at school who fell asleep on his paper round.
cycled his bike into a parked car putting his head through the back window.
ended up in a neck brace with a lacerated eye lid and eyebrow.
ouch.

sheet, i think i was lucky. There was definately face-rear windscreen action on my crash :S
