Got teh brompton out of the garage to set off to the staition, unfold it, jump on, press o the pedals and somersault straight over the top as it folds itself away underneath me.

I had tightened teh clip thing, but unfortunately the other pice of teh frame wasn't inside the clip properly. Certainly wakes you up on Monday morning.

    Yeah like I happened to have a video camera running? I guess if I had a head cam it would have have shown you a 360. However don't possess one.

    I executed a perfect Judo rolling breakfall as I fell off though. Luckily no witnesses though, my neighbour had just walked past but have fortunately turned the corner.

    Do it again with a video conveniently nearby and send it in to You've Been Framed for £250. Nobody will guess it's a set up, even if you do land on a handy matress.
