Prize winning newbie fall

[danger mouse]

I cant bring myself to go clipless and stick with my cages.

However, while on the turbo trainer I dropped my phone (It passes the time)

Unbelievably I thought I would be able to reach down and get the phone back without stopping.

Yes indeed, I ended up on the floor with the bike and trainer on top of me.

Wife has not stopped laughing since

 

[HLaB]

Sorry but Im LMAO Thanks for sharing that has cheered me up

 

[ianrauk]

Sorry, but...

 

[NormanD]

Could you repeat the feat, but with video evidence

[Wades]

Hows the phone?

 

[danger mouse]

I wish I had caught it on video. I've been reading about 'Youtube partners' and just know I would have made my fortune.

Im glad I could be of service to some of you

(Phone is OK)

I was waved off on my commute this morning with grave warnings of "carefull you dont fall!!"

 

[HLaB]

I've just got off the turbo and tried to recreate for you but just couldn't, how did you manage it ?

 

[Chris-H]

Sorry mate but that was very funny as i'm sure your aware of by now

 

[Keith Oates]

We all need some cheering up in the cold and wet winter and the OP certainly achieved that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Steve H]

Have you tried using stabilisers on your bike? ;-)

 

[Shaun]

What's your mobile number, and when are you using the turbo next? <grabs video camera>

 

[fossyant]

Falling off rollers is one thing, but a turbo...... LOL

I did exactly same thing two years ago, the difference being, I was going up a very steep hill slowly and I dropped my hat, as I was going slowly I thought I had time to pick it up, next thing I knew I was laid on the road.
