Yep got caught out this morning on the way into work. Got all the way there, turned into the car park and down I went, with my new steed sliding across the car park. DOH! Still a bit sore, but a least the bike is ok.

I am sure we are all unanimous in hoping that the damage was only to yourself and not the bikeFaster than a tent.......0

First time out on my current commuting steed, decided to catch front wheel in sheffield's tram tracks- with a tram following behind!!!! My irritation at scuffs on brakes was somewhat tempered by relief at sensible tram driver, who was following at a sufficiently safe distance and speed, and also nice enough to stop and check I was ok.
Glad you both seem ok though.0 -

Bike is absolutely dandy. My pride however is seriously dented. Only had the bloody thing a fortnight. :oops:0
