Saul Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Dropped me bleddy bike today, nothing but a few tiny scratches and not hurt at all apart from my pride. Embarrassing though and I thought long and hard before posting it on here. I pulled up to stop at a junction when a dray lorry flashed me out, just as I was about to put my feet down, I got flustered tried to get in gear and pull away and managed to get my foot caught and slowly fell over. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more authentic now, a bit of damage looks like the real deal Hands up who hasn't at some point dropped their bike? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about going over while stationary or walking pace. However, between 71-73 I binned bikes more than 20 times riding like a fool! Does that count? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Those types of drops are a pain, the amount of times I’ve seen bikes dropped after washing and getting paddled back into a garage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
