Tonight I crashed the bike on the way home to pick up Otto. I was coming up the hill at Tower Hill and I could see two cyclist, one following the other. The first cyclist cut across the cycle path onto the wrong side of the side road, going against oncoming traffic , had there been any. I thought the second cyclist was following him and shouted and rung my bell.
Next thing I felt was the front of my bike give way underneath me and I landed on the ground.
I probably should have stuck around and tried to find some witnesses but I was aware that I needed to get myself and the bike to pick up Otto.
As the bike was now about a foot shorter it fitted pretty easily inside a black cab so was able to get Otto only a little bit late.
I also managed to cut my elbow and rib my jacket in half
