I suppose a few of you were wondering when the inevitable was coming, although you will be wrong, as you wouldn't have predicted it. I wasn't weaving anyone, I was doing anything stupid really. Just riding in a completely empty part of uni, I assume it had rained, anyway, I was riding towards a corner, obviously you have to go round it, so I leant in to it and out of nowhere the front wheel just lost all grip, which followed with the back wheel loosing its grip due to the massive lean angle I now had, within milliseconds I was sliding along the floor on my way into the building wall where I stopped. I had a look at the path when I left the lecture I was going to and it did look very greasy, that sort of green algae like texture that goes on paths sometimes. I'm just glad nobody was around because that would have been damn embarrassing :p I'm left with a cut up hand and slightly achy knee with friction burn. The bike is still fine though so don't worry.

Here is an example of what happened:

(Don't worry about pedrosa, he was fine)

This is basically what my bike did, except I was obviously going a lot slower and stopped within 2 meters. I hate wet weather :(
 
ow, glad your ok, could have been a lot worse!

I was lucky enough to be at York where the ducks were an absolute menace to anyone on a bike. I was late for a hockey match once, so bombing it across campus on mine. Some silly cow was feeding the ducks on the bike path, I swerved to avoid her and ran straight into the curb, leaving me with a considerable amount of mud and poo in most orifices!

Not as good as a mate of mine though, who came into a seminar about half an hour late with the excuse that he had killed a duck! Apparently he was cycling along, and there was a group of ducks ahead of him, and a pillar to the left so he couldn't swerve out the way-he went for the ducks!

Silly ducks on the cycle path... they think they're people :D
 
They way I see it, you were on a race track otherwise known as 'Uni' and you got your knee down in front of some hot chicks to impress them, only to fall off.

Hot chick in question

:p
 
So you slid on your arse across an algae-slickened footpath to a cheesy techno soundtrack.......how odd.

A mate of mine did similar on his scooter when we were in college while I was following him home one day in the car. Going through a sweeping left hander he rode across a wet manhole cover, and the scooter just went from under him. He wound up lodged under a fence but otherwise unharmed, except for his ego of course because we left him there for 10 minutes while we tried to regain some composure due to us laughing that hard.

Oy vey! .....I think I've just been sick in my mouth a little bit...:(
 
It wasn't one of those plastic Japanese sportsbikes was it? Could've been expensive if you cracked all the fairing.
 
It is actaully possible you saw!, there were a few people in a warehouse/storage space, give me a few more detail of where i was and then i shall be embarrased.
