Prob my most comical crash (I've had a few!) was when me and a few mates went for a ride along some country lanes. We came to a sharp right-hand bend on a slightly downhill road. I was behind one of my mates and was gaining on him fast. He took the inside line so I was all set to pass him on the outside - until he decided to drift wide, leaving me no option but to go straight on. With too much speed and braking heavily, I rode straight into a ditch, and, realising I was going to hit a tree, prepared for the worst, still braking heavily. In slow motion, my front wheel hit the tree only with enough force for me to be lifted out of the saddle, lay the lamest headbutt you have ever seen on the treetrunk and rebound gently back into the saddle.
