I came off my bike just past Liverpool Street station and I’m intensely embarrassed!

Yeah so I was at the road work traffic lights. All the cyclists were packed in together. The lights turned green. We move forward and I was watching the guy ahead of me who was less than a foot away. I should’ve given some room i know, but everyone set off a the same time. We all know what it’s like at 8:50 in the city.

I should’ve looked past the cyclist, but didn’t and didn’t see pedestrians crossing the road (red man) and so I pressed my breaks hard when the person got too close! My bike went up at the back, I couldn’t balance and I fell on my side. So intensely embarrassed, I got back on and cycled away. Thank you to a couple of cyclists who asked if I was ok!

Glad it was a slow fall rather than at speed!

Be safe everyone 😀
