Knee down?

[darrsi]

I don't think people were really suggesting "stupid riding" at all, in reality it's just a matter of fact that nobody ever has a clue of road conditions, and although unbelievably our roads are actually better than most, the threat of oil, diesel, and petrol spilled from lorrys, buses and the like can make putting your knee down extremely off putting, especially when it's not that necessary.
I hope that doesn't make me sound like a killjoy, 'cos that's not the way i intended it to sound!
