How on earth do you accidentally ride a push bike on a motorway?! I can understand perhaps taking the wrong exit on a roundabout and finding yourself in a slip road which joins a motorway, but surely you'd notice that the road you're joining has three lanes of fast moving traffic and realise before you actually joined the motorway itself. Or were riding with your eyes closed, or something?

Guess its a kind of darwinian law. The law is there to stop "natural" selection.

Basically went on my early evening for a sunset bike ride and then the next thing you know made a wrong turn and ended up on the mortaway. I pretty much died but thankfully I am still alive.

But I have learnt my lesson never go on your bike at night or even early evening hours.

Nah, Google maps has literally taken me on the M25 before - don't ask how because I don't know. Glad we're both still alive 😭. I was honestly mortified when I found it out was illegal to ride on the motorway.

Yeah thank god mate I am never using my phone for directions again it’s absolutely useless. But glad you are okay but I fractured shoulder as I fell of but I am lucky to be alive. As I so glad ro be alive as I know sound stupor and all and had a few beers but I am ready to have a girlfend and family.

Just made me realise how short life is and that it was want for myself. But it was such a weird feeling going tdown a dark path but I want to keep myself alive as long as possible.

I will wake up the next day and everything will be same again. But hoping to get a girlfriend soon but for love of god it never happens to me no matter how hard I try.

The question is why on earth you'd carry on going up that slip road with a hard shoulder available.
