Didn’t go so well when I clipped a wing mirror of a parked car with the stump and crashed to the ground. I still maintain though that if I’d been on my usual city bike rather than my mountain bike I would have made it all the way safe and sound, as steering and control is somehow easier on my curved upright-style handlebars!

Just because you can do something doesn’t necessarily mean that you should…!
