Saw an 'off' this morning

[Garlick]

Well, the aftermath of at least. My Mrs was cycling today too, and she had only left a few minutes before me and didn't see it at all, so I must have passed minutes after.

If a car was involved it didn't stop. Chap on the floor with a cut face (wearing helmet) with pedestrians looking after him already. He looked completely spaced out and they were holding his head, bike in a heap to his right.

From what I can make out, he lost it on a 90 degree left hander, at least the position of his bike suggested this, and he ended up on the kerb....hopefully the cut head wasn't from that.

Anyway, it was a little cold and damp today, so be careful out there and get well soon to the chap on the floor in Sheen.....

Sounds nasty!

I have not come off my bike in a year and over 2000 miles of riding, I am convinved most crashes are down to rider incompetance!

p.s I saw your bike this morning, looks shiny

It's the first time I've used the 'racks to store it. Usually I have it in the office, or chuck it in the back of the Landie for the day but seeing as the Mrs rode too, we locked our bikes together.

What's wrong with the racks?

[Garlick]

Nothing....hopefully. I just don't carry a lock usually (need a bigger back pack) but the Mrs carried one today.

Lucky you. Out riding on a sunny day a few years, making a slow 90 degree turn, the frost on the road which was still covered by a shadow hadn't melted, bike went straight over.

As I said. Incompetance.

You got your wife to carry the lock !

Lazy git

She has a bigger back back, makes sense!
