Was cycling to the pub, thought I was on the Kawasaki Ninja, leaned in too hard and fast on a roundabout and fell off. Bruised, bit of hurty stuff, apart from missing 1st gear ok. Doom bar pint for the medicine. Slippery conditions, my fault, nice drivers stopped to see if I was ok!

Falling off bikes comes in threes.
I fell off mine on the way to work on Monday. Was about a mile away, so continued journey one legged. Have a large hole in my knee which is starting to get better, but still leaking and oozing. Kneecap and most of lower leg is lovely shade of purpley brown. Got tended to by ClientCo's first aiders which was quite a scary experience.
Colleague fell off hers last night. Car overtook moped and nearly knocked her off the road. She slammed on the anchors and came off. Her bike is knackered, and she's got some nice road rash. Car driver has agreed to pay for bike repairs, so that's something.

I drove my trike into a lampost when I was five. Straight over the handlebars and little basket and smacked the lamppost with me forehead.
a few weeks later, someone drove their morris into the lampost, and it leaned over a bit.
so for years, everyone said it was my 'ead that bent the lampost. yeah, very funny
