Council to pay for it? No chance...
What with one thing and another, I'm pretty shaken up! Only 3 weeks of riding since my big smash, and a bike's gone down AGAIN! Shock only though, it came out of nowhere! As my tyres aren't the best, I was steering with my knees and weight, keeping the bike as upright as possible. Halfway round a roundabout where I was doing a 300 degree turn, at only about 5mph, the bike decides it no longer wants to grip. Splat.
Apparently, other vehicles have had trouble there. My landlord said that a Peugeot 206 lost the back end at the exact same spot a few days ago. When I told him which roundabout I'd fallen down on, he knew to within about a foot where I was. That is bloody unsafe, and the council had better prepare its wallet. After all, what the fuck are taxes for, if not maintaing our infrastructure?!?
