Couldn't get my feet out of my toeclips when wobbling at a junction. A very majestic slow topple over sideways onto elbow! :oops: I twisted my head up so as to protect m helmet. 8)

Well done Edinburgh drivers in marchmont at 3.50pm today, all of you stopped! But next time, please can a nice blonde lady come and see if Im okay, not the man with the 'tache? Thanks!

    Have only done this once just after getting clipless pedals. Was trying to trackstand at a large crossroads with lights near the Welsh border. Toppled over to the left. It was early in the morning but there was one car behind me with a driver wetting himself laughing at me. Damage report: grazed elbow, bruised thigh and dented ego.

    It's good that they stopped.
    How's the elbow?

    Ouch! It is a long way down from up there! Did the same thing at a junction last year, resulting in a bruised elbow and hip, ripped bar tape and a bent rear mech hanger. Naturally it was infront of onlookers :oops:

    Well done for protecting your lid :D
