So, I was riding up a set of small ledges and didn’t have quite enough momentum, and I was trying to make up for that with brute force .. long story short, one of my cleats popped out and I lost my balance and fell over.
The bike ended up like this .. on its own, I did not position it by hand at all.

That’s essentially what the rider (me) did. 😆

Fantastic, but I don’t think I’d want to try to do it again.

Brilliant! If I tried to do that, I’d wind up still attached and under the bike!

Sometimes humans revert to the fetal position. Perhaps this is the Giant’s natural resting position. 😆

Nice! I love when these "once in a whenever" things happen, but I usually never have a camera to share. 😆
