Don't ride a road bike over a wooden bridge in the rain. When the front wheel slips and you have a slow motion fall it hurts!!!
Owww!!!

White bikes don't like rain, at least that's what mine says.

I'm off to Tunisia for a week on 31st and plan to get a Boardman Hybrid when I get back so my white bike gets a rest in the wet. I should have bought it last week. 
Elbow, shoulder, hip and knee aching like hell. Other than that it was a good afternoon on the bike. Even with the crash, it was better than being in work.

It a bit mucky. I'll give it some TLC in the morning. I'm sure it will forgive me

I'm sure it will too but just in case buy it some flowers too, and also some oil. Not sure if bikes are male or female so that should cover both bases.

I feel your pain! I came off my bike last night in the rain on the way home from work. My left elbow and knee are battered and bruised but I ache so much today!! Was also thinking of giving her a good clean tomorrow so that she doesn't think I blame her!

My original plan was to get out today for a ride, but we've had some horrendous downpours overnight. While I don't mind a bit of rain (i hardly shrink in it) i am a little worried about skippy slidey road surfaces. It's raining again now so it would definitely be a wet ride. Hmmm, coffee while I make a decision methinks
Get well soon @philinmerthyr
