the falling off thread :(

everyones joining, thats- me, stevenhaskew, knightrider, shellywoozle, hooligan dan and lou lou. ride safe folks you dont really want your name on this list

Onyerbike too! Nearly me!

oh yea and onyerbike (same day as me), thats 7 nearly 8 with your close call m8.

Sometimes it doesn't matter how safe you ride, you just can't think for everybody on the road unfortunately . All I will say is never take a risk and not wear all your gear. It's saved me more than a few times. Good luck out there.

I'm tempted to buy some hi-vis gear now that I've dscovered the art of becoming invisible

it may look stupid but its a very good idea.

I'm a nearly as of this morning. A black cat ran out in front of me. Nowhere togo so hard brake, and pleased that (a) I managed to stay upright and (b) the cat lived and wasn't even hurt. But I was a bit jellified the rest of the ride in.

How are you fellow "off"er's mending? Hope everyones aches and breaks are healing well.

My ankle is still painful for walking, a bit less painful for driving, and absolutely fine for riding! Bike is all sorted out, just a few fairing scratches and stuff.

I've always worn a hi-vis vest for commuting, but never any other time. Now started wearing it when I'm getting myself around at night, but I don't suppose you'll find me wearing it on daytime fun rides, though!

I fell off in May and broke my ankle does that count? I also bloodied my shin mountain biking Sunday...it's a pretty shade of red and purple with an added bonus of poison ivy!!!

But seriously, watch out for the crazies and don't be one yourself!
