London training no.3 - accident!


Rolling very slowly, trying to avoid unclipping as I approached a pedestrian crossing, I went across a roadside culvert.  Nothing wrong in that you say - well, there was a slot in it, just wide enough to fit my front wheel. 

The wheel stopped, and I had time to see it buckle as all my weight fell over it.

I hadn't been aware that hazards like this might be placed in the road.



The result - trashed wheel - lucky it was the winter training wheel.
