What UPDs you most,Dips \/ or Blips /\ ?

A dip with a steeper than expected exit is worse than a bump with a
steeper than expect downslope.

So, do you ride with a club?

No, but I carry a heavy spanner.

If I see them coming, I'll manage either most of the time. It's usually
those microscopic dirt irregularities when I'm not paying any
attention; then I just fall off and try to pretend I meant to.

But yes, dips do present a more difficult challenge normally than
blips.

Neither. I usualy just turn to much and fly into a tree. but it is
usualy a dip after I go of course that makes me fly into yhe tree.

UPD--un-planned-dismount

The mid-sized curbs on rural roads the cross the trail I ride are
pretty tough. Just as I'm checking to see if there are cars coming, I
hit them and end up looking like a spazz if I don't fly off. Otherwise
the thing that UPD's me the most is a foot adjustment on the pedals
that goes awry.

I usually fall off due to my wheel decides to stop going. I know I hit
a bump or something, but I go back and I cant see anything! I guess
one of those ants thought it would be funny to trip me.

My last memorial UPD (or fall as I like to call them) was while crossing
a zebra crossing on my way home from 'filming at Pollok'
(http://tinyurl.com/a6yp4) just as a woman was pointing me out to her
kid, with the kid saying "how does he do it?" I had to go back and get
it from the road and say "that's not how to do it" to her.

Typical eh? Ride over fallen trees no bother then get tripped by
road-markings.

For me, I'd definitely say dips. I hit a "tire-sized" dip down next to
the bike path -it was a speed dip of some kind - and my 28" tire
totally stopped turning, and off I went. I think bumps are easier
'cause you can kind of hop up, but dips are tough because you have to
climb back up out. Sucks to UPD in front of a bunch of people, cause
of a traffic dip. Not the B.C kind. 😉
