Deadly white paint

Was travelling along the bike path after a night of rain. Crossing the white line was a mistake, as my front tire slipped causing it all to come to a crashing stop.

**Note wrong time set on camera at time**

Kurz nach unten geschaut und schon gecrasht

Es hatte sich ein kleiner Stock in der Kette verfangen, weshalb ich kurz nach unten zu dem Antrieb geschaut habe. Und in dieser Zeit habe ich den Pfosten mitten auf dem Weg vergessen…
Weder Rad noch Fahrer haben Schaden davon getragen.

Pedal strike

Practice lap for the Travers 2024 Race series … running the bike a bit too low and pushing a bit too hard… clipped a log. Serious incident as it broke the mount on my 12… 🙁

Gravity always wins

Some slippery leaves result in a crash in a pedestrian area. 1 x cracked and 1 x chipped rib. Fortunately bike was unharmed.

I Do all my own stunts

Crash.
Entering into Carlton Village, caught the edge of the curb by the traffic calming Island.
No one to blame but me.

Pure rider error!

After coming wide around a corner, I moved to the left, while simultaneously looking over my left shoulder for a rider behind… I then looked back and was heading directly for the barrier. The ground was slippery and there was debris at the road edge, so it was too late for stopping or turning! Amazingly I survived relatively unscathed, save for a bit of road rash on my backside, a slightly damaged finger and a graze on the back of my head. My helmet did what it was supposed to do, and died for the cause, and I ruined a pair of Castelli shorts. The bike, you will be pleased to read, was fine – it suffered minor scuffing on the saddle and the bars needed straightening. Everything else was fine.

Slippery road leads to crash

There was an old-timer rally passing by. A few oil leaks caused the road to be slippery

Crash in icy corner

As it turns out ice is slippery…

pretty weird that that one bit of ice was slippery, earlier in the ride I rode over tons of stuff that looked exactly the same, and had grip. (date in the video is inaccurate)

Invisible ice patch crash

Forty degree day, no rain in several days, crashed on invisible patch of ice. Sustained fractured clavicle and cracked ribs.
