Crashed into a canal don't recommend, it has however retored my faith in humanity everyone involved has been phoning or visiting to check. Bikes now out of the lock phone is rippers, but my keys are there, and the lockkeeper is dropping it off. Got away with the physical injuries just a scraped need and some muscles ache from landing. Got a bloody nose from the impact
Just left with a wait and see if the goose poo and rat wee causes an issue
Can't complain really sun is shining didn't die
oh god. How'd it happen?
I was on the gravel part I went onto the cement bit in the photo but the gravel has lowered over the years side wall of my tyre grabbed the brick and tipped me in.
how deep was it
As it looked in the picture luckily enough to break my fall and I missed the raised bricks on the side. I can't remember if I was able to stand I pushed off the bottom. Lock keeper said about 2m.
Bike spent the night in there boat went over it so I guess 2m is right.
Back to work tomorrow on said bike after a clean and a service. Phone seems to have survived condensation in the camera lenses and lock button doesn't work.
Front light seems to be ok
Lost my shocks headphones
Everything else is all good 🪿🐸
