Had my first crash this morning

fletch · 2009-07-16 08:02:44

Coming up Camden Street, cycling parallel to a car (can't remember make/model), when all of a sudden the car decides to turn left down a small alley. I clip the front wing/bumper, bike flicks up into the air, somehow I manage to land on both tyres, bit of a wiggle and I stop, shaken, cut ankle but alive. :) I look behind…

Yes, it's always little by little...it takes a while to get a feel for just how slowly you have to go but once you have it, it can be quite a satisfying job.

Best done at night though, with a helmet-mounted Fenix That really fixes them in place like a rabbit.

Haha, it does that, I do actually point the torch directly at them if it looks like they are going to do something stupid. Stops them dead.
