W&W London Bridge Pointless Prize Log

[wheelswings]

Here’s my list of London Bridge contestants. Who am I missing?

Some of the crashes were really, really bad. Others were comical. Some were soul-crushing. Several hurt like hell. Some were all of the above. Quality and quantity both count.

Hugs and healing wishes to all. w&w

So Bob James doesn’t win outright just because he was riding on ice with soft cushy snow to land in all winter? Good deal.

So I managed to do an endo on a CaBi Plus yesterday on 21st street on the way home from work. I’m not exactly sure how I did it. I was going probably 8 miles at the time and used both brakes. A taxi stopped somewhat abruptly in front of me.

The right elbow is a bit sore and the right knee got tweaked a bit again but I’m ok.

Sending well wishes for a speedy recovery and belated Happy Birthday

I don’t know if wheels&wings is going to sponsor this prize again for 2020, but may I suggest that we just use #londonbridge as a hashtag going forward to eliminate some maintenance that has to happen every year now?

I’ve updated the leaderboard to allow either #londonbridge or #fs2020londonbridge

And we already have 2 folks who have tagged #londonbridge – Adriana and MaryEllsworth!

Just to point out to new participants that this is a #thing.

The bike’s fine, thanks for asking (and so am I)

A reminder: Be wary of wet wooden bridges. After a decade of no problems, LBJ grove bridge finally got me.

Bike is fine. Laptop is fine. I am okay, but my elbow has looked prettier.

I hate wet bridges and pavement mostly covered in wet leaves. But wet bridges more.

Sorry it got you – hope you heal quickly!

Sorry to hear of your accident. May you have a refuah shlema. The decking on such bridges should use something less prone to getting slick and slimy.

I hit a patch of black ice a 1/2 mile away from my house in the dark this morning. Bruised, bloodied and sore face and lips, as well as the knee. I would not recommend this method of exfoliating your face [emoji23]

This is the second time I’ve crashed on my face in a month. I’m considering wearing a full face helmet in icy/sketchy conditions now.

OMG! I hope it isn’t to painful and heals quick. JoM should kiss it and make it feel all better.

It hurts to hit the pavement! I am so sorry. I recommend Calmoseptine ointment on road rash. Not close to the eyes though.
