I decided to load the bike up for an afternoon trip to Eddies new house and make sure that everything was indeed working as planned. Standing on the drive I thought hmm... this would make a good self portrait photo opportunity, so set the camera up on the tripod, set the timer to 10 seconds and ran to jump on the bike. I forgot how sloped the drive is, together with a fully laden bike and result was thus...

No damage done, I quickly righted and set off to do some chores. 1st the bank. I decided to park right in front of the entrance such that I could keep a paranoid eye on the bike, so nipped onto the pavement and misjudged the size of the panniers, clipping a wall and sending me over again, only this time I had a full bus for an audience. Luckily I have a tinted visor to hide my shame.

Don't feel bad mate, I must have dropped my bike ten times the first week I had it loaded up. Fortunately the French were very obliging helping me with it :D
