My commute to work was made excellent the other day when I saw a motorcyclist try to ride on the pavement to avoid a traffic queue, lose control, fall off and land bollock-first on a concrete bollard. He was fine, eventually – but tell us your tales of the old blinding agony to the gentleman's or gentlewoman's area.

One christmas many years ago me and a few mates got new bikes, mine being a Raleigh Burner. One of our group had got other stuff that year but already had a Raleigh Chopper. After the initial honeymoon period where no-one was allowed to touch my bike and much persuasion from him we swapped bikes for a go. I was at the time pretty good on the BMX doing wheelies, bunnyhops etc.
So I decide to try and bunnyhop his bike, you can probably tell where this is going.... The tiny front wheel lands first, back end heads upwards and I got sliding down the seat, pods first into the gear shifter. Pain? Oh yes indeed, with the others looking on pissing themselves at my ineptitude to ride a crap bike.

And the Striker with the pedal back brake. Nearly killed myself on one of those too...

Weighed a fucking ton either way.

The Bomber was infinitely superior.
I don't like you any more now.

Let's just skip to the bit where I win and we have angry make-up sex.
