buzzing around ZiJing park in Changzhou last night. (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn_of_Fortune ) It was late enough that there wasn't a soul around, thus I was all too busy staring at the shiny wheel and not really looking where I was going when the nice wide and smooth tarmac path I was enjoying gave way to a tourist information type plaza, complete with ~8 set of steps either side. I looked up in time to realise that I'd fucked up but not in time to stop/slow down enough to reasonably bail, so it was a case of hold on tight and hope everything stays in one piece. Thankfully both my wheels, and my cheap Chinese crabon handlebars held together, and I stuck the landing. Guess I'm just fortunate the stairs were downward, not up.
TLDR: accidental stair sets.
