    On the white road paint, front tyre, the tarmac meets my arse. (bike and fool ok, of course it had to be in front of a bus stop)

    Careful out there peeps.

    Line marking paint is notorious for being slippy, I've slipped on them several times before...

    The road through the white gates of the Phoenix park is completely frozen over, or at least it was at 7PM. I slid twice and fell on my arse.

    Stop stealing my thunder, my fall was more embarrassing than yours. I was doing about 4kph and I still managed to do a small lady scream as I fell. My bag got tangled on my handlebars when trying to get up.

    Never cycle on road markings...... Well not that you'll have to be told that again!

    I was avoiding a pedestrian. Dead right though, lesson learned.

    Very nearly injured myself on a DublinBike :D recently. As I was making a fast enough left turn, the back of the bike let go on a wet white line. I made a brilliant recovery, (of course!), and ended up facing almost in the direction I had come from.

    Really have to be careful these days. Mountain bike and light snow is great fun however!

    You were drifting Kevin... drifting, you meant to do it, you knew exactly what you were doing. End of.
