I was racing in the Goodwood festival of speed in my E-type when I lost traction and slammed it into the wall. A spectators loaned me their ‘07 Camry to finish the race, for some reason I was disqualified and deported from the UK.

I make to much effort to find the video of this story but with no result. And suddenly today KZbin recomend me this, thank you KZbin

[@cocacolatgv]

KZbin never fails, always reliable lol

[@starsybil3630]

I have literally only seen a 1 minute video about cyclism but KZbin thought that it must have been my favourite kind of video and recommended me this

[@MichaelCraig414]

THAT IS FKN AWESOME. What are the odds it happens right where a compassionate person happens to be watching the race, and of all bikes, with a bike similar to his. Thats media gold right there.

Cycling is all about stories .. this was a great one.

When life throws a bike at you,win a race out of it !

The last time life threw a bike at me is the last I texted while driving. I wonder what that dog thought when life threw a kid at him?

Shut up

[@TwinShards]

I would have been thankful to that spectator for letting me borrow his bike no matter what type it is. Especially if i could keep up with the flow of the race with it. But it look like he didn't show a lot of gratitude to him. That suck. I got a Mtn bike i ride daily, i clutch acceleration and speed with it doing 35-50km/h at my best on flat and i also have a race bike doing usually 45-60km/h on flat. I like both but, Montreal require Mtn bike because of all the pothholes in the winter.

There are so many people riding insanely expensive bikes nowadays who don't actually need them whatsoever. I saw some old guy riding a full carbon fibre, full suspension Ibis the other day and he was wobbling along at about 4kms per hour!

yeah man - the lighter they are, the easier they crumple up in bull bars. or something.

[@moaningpheromones]

Adam Pyke - you are a great man right down to the way your bike leaves your hand and rolls to the race rider in one graceful fluid motion. MR was one very very lucky race contender that day. People say they wouldn't lend a bike after he threw his team bike. I'd be more worried about the killer motorbike crew that put him there to start with. One of the best things I've ever seen in sport.

[@cphun2]

Nice to give your bike to someone who throws the bikes when he is not happy..

[@josez1]

That bike was free. So...
