Thread: What's the worst thing?

front tire part way down the western descent to Roseville Bridge – luckily it was near the top of the descent and I was only doing about 70 km/h at the time

Handel Bars parting company with goose neck

Broken peddle out the back of Camden and having to ride the thing home back to Liverpool back in 1965

doing wheel stands and front wheel doesn't

break blocks shooting out going down Kingsgrove Rd past the Government Bus depot

Break Cables snapping numerous times

Having some filp wit throw a hung of timber through the front spokes

Watching my cousin have an Echidna curl around his front wheel and him going flying through the air

On a ride from Singleton to Sydney going down a hill fairly rapidly, bike fully loaded up, went over a bump and front & rear panniers came off the rails, only to be held on by the bottom straps..... Thought I was a gonner but managed to hold on as the panniers bouced and scraped down the road.

Riding 4 months ago on a bike path, pedestrians in the way, going too fast, pedestrians danced across the path, I swerved, collected bushes with front handlebar, over the handle bars and landed on my head/shoulder. Broke my collarbone. Went in for surgery and now have a 3" plate. BTW, the ambulance does not take your bike, so if you go for a ride in the magic flashing machine, you have to get someone to wait with your bike until your wife / husband / other can pick it up....

And, of course I'm sure all cyclists have fallen over at the traffic lights when you couldn't get your clips out.....

Yeh but no one admits that, Tom.
