    You laid the bike down right?

    Not quite...

    Going down a hill, on the road, at 38mph when wheel wobble set in. Decision - come off on hard tarmac (pavement?) or go for the 'softer' grass verge. Took the latter approach. The bike went from 38mph to 0mph almost instantly.

    Result - I went over the top of the bars to land on my back. Double displaced fracture of the clavicle and a few scrapes & bruises. Oh, and a trashed bike, Garmin & helmet (which probably preserved my skull!). Back at work the day after.

    That was quite a few years ago now. Took me 5 years to bring myself to go down the same hill!

    Man alive, you could have come away with worse. I commend you for trying the same hill again, takes some *kittens*.

    I'll probably regret this. But I am proud of my hard work.

    Good progress. Keep it up.

    For reference here’s a before and after, notice the back-fat in the before pic. A combination of losing the excess weight and improving my posture has made all the difference!

    Excellent. Congrats on the effort and dedication you would've put in to this.

    @RunsWithBees What a great transformation! And I get what you're saying about posture. It doesn't get talked about nearly enough, and it makes such a big difference to our looks. How did YOU go about improving your posture?
