What tale of bad luck on your bike can you remember from BITD?, apart from it being nicked. Which has happened to most of us at least once i'm guessing.

Mine for example was my mate and me started riding to Edinburgh, from Livi to Scotia BMX. Bear in mind we were thirteen and this trip was approximately 18miles there and 18miles back. Anyway, about 10 miles into the journey he got a puncture so we took of the wheel and stuffed the tyre with long grass and slowly made or way to the shop.
With me laughing and taking piss out of him on the way.Got a new tube and borrowing their tools and fixed it.

Anyway, the purpose of the trip was for me to get some new Shimano pedals for which I had been saving for months. These were to replace the KKT ones on my ET which I had wrecked. So bought pedals and bloke say do you want me to fit them for you. No its alright i'll do them when I get home I say and we set off back. By the way our parents have no idea where we are. Well about 6miles from Livi guess what happens, my fookin pedal snaps, couldnt fookin believe it. Cant get the spindle out the crank as no proper tools. So my mate gets is revenge piss taking me and sets of home to get my Dad to pick me up. No mobiles in them days and no money left to use the phonebox, spent every penny on BMX ;D. Eventually my dad turns up, gives me a bollocking for being so stupid to cycle to Edinburgh in the first place, throws my bike in the car.

All the way home I get a lecture and grounded for two weeks and he wont fix my bike until then. So two weeks late and i'm finally allowed back out. Get the bike out the shed and Dad gets the broken bit out of the crank. I get the pedals from under my bed and would you fookin believe it they have sold me 9/16 and not 1/2. :uglystupid2:

Just my fookin luck.... :LolLolLolLol:

Two things come to mind for me.

I was riding my bike through the local park and didn't realise that they had but a wooden barrier up where previously there was just an opening. I was heading for it at a fair old pace too. Needless to say I saw it just at the lat minute and tried to duck, unfortunately, it hit me on the chin and took me straight off the bike and knocked me unconscious for a while. When I came round, I had a group of people and an ambulance crew over me. My bike did not get nicked tough. Which was a blessing.

The second thing was when I was riding past Tommy Cooper's house. I usually gave it a wide berth because he was an obnoxious drunkard who hated us kids. Anyway, again, i was travelling pretty quick when he loomed out of his front door and swore at me. This caused me to swerve and skid on an oil patch. My two top front teeth met the bumper of a parked car. The teeth lost.

What a story!!!! Tommy Cooper made you loose your front teeth!!!!!! OMG, 'Just like that'!
