wrong way round
Cycling home this evening I went into the back of a stationary bus at about 18-20mph. Normally had I seen someone do this I'd piss myself laughing but as i was picking myself up and drivers were stopping to ask if I were okay, I couldn't help but laugh at myself.

Luckily my bike is okay (2nd day I've had it). Though things come in threes and it was the 3rd bike accident I've had today (well 2 very near misses). I should take my bosses advice and not do anything but sit still on a chair as whenever I do anything remotely dangerous, I somehow hurt myself in a spectacular way. Knowing I'm jinxed I can always see the funny side and laugh through the pain :D

nothing wrong with the bike
It's me - I'm jinxed!

Though its a road bike and never had one before so not used to the weird position of the brakes... but probably more to the point that I was racing a scooter and winning and was trying to avoid potholes!

Other two accidents weren't my fault, a van pulled out in front of me who wasn;t looking and I stopped 3 inches from the side of it (brakes worked that time!) and got feet stuck in pedals (they're spd pedals) whilst setting off and had a slow motion fall! lol

Hopefully better luck today!

friend of mine...
got a bike with the clip pedals and it took him about 3 months to stop falling off whenever he stopped. I still laugh thinking of him manically trying to remove his feet from the pedals at traffic lights and falling comedically onto the pavement still attached to the bike!
