Ouch

So, there I am minding my own business on my ride to work today, when all my cosy assumptions about lean angles and coefficients of friction are cruelly shattered

Bloody hell! Nothing broken, I hope? On you, not the bike, I meant!

It works. And yes, I'm not surprised you went over if that corner was the slightest bit slippery/icy. Hope there's no permanent damage. :)

Well I need another few square inches of skin, but that's a good excuse to eat more protein ;-) My wrist is also a bit tender but I don't think it's sprained or anything.

That video probably looks faster than it is because it's so shaky. I'm probably doing about 25 at the beginning, 20 round the corner. Slower this morning if anything. I've been round that corner a couple of dozen times with not so much as a wobble - I suspect a diesel spill, as the front went so quickly...

Anyway thank you for your concern. It won't keep me away from the pub ;-)

It works fine!

And ouch! Glad you are OK.

That road surface looks evil, all those patches and bumps!

[salmon_of_doubt]

Yeah, the roads are generally pretty shagged in Sheffield, especially away from the main routes. It is literally getting to the stage on some of them where there are more patches than actual road...

Hope you're okay? Great vid!

[salmon_of_doubt]

Not bad thanks, a bit sore still but OK.

You are too kind. I'd be the first to admit it was not the most exciting subject matter for a video, but the view is quite nice I suppose ;-)

Yowch! Nice vid tho'. Beer is very good for shock I hear. :0)

[salmon_of_doubt]

I shall try that tomorrow. I'm researching the analgesic properties of red wine tonight ;-)
