A chainslip, it's in the tweets.

Ah. He's cycling around with a slack chain.

That's always a good idea.

No idea, it could be a crankset failure.

I guess the daily video editing and Twitter spats don't leave a lot of time for maintaining a roadworthy bicycle.

Crankset failure would have nothing to do with maintenance, it's a manufacture fault.

I can be down to either.
If a crankset isn't cleaned every few months it will slip.

Karma was driving that car!

It could have been his imagination about being hit by a big, bad motorist!?

You're being a dick HemmY

That chain slip could have been caused by a number of different things, one way or the other its really shit luck and he's come out of its badly no matter what you think of the fella. One he got the slip the resistance went and he was fired off balance

I had a really similar incident years back, except it was a shear in my crank, should I have had the crank X-rayed regularly to identify the weakness?

Mandatory NCT for older bikes - to make sure they don't cause single vehicle crashes like with chicken-john, or worse, multiple vehicle accidents?
