Good story. Look forward to hearing the sentence.

Does anyone know where I can pick up a theraband right now? Called Runners Need in Croydon but the guy said "no" before admitting that he didn't even know what it was. I have a bee in by bonnet and wanna get on some ankle strengthening exercises today.

Cheers

Westfield is just a haven for the cagers to go to without being exposed to the elements, this is all.

I rather go to the real stuff, with real people, and real community.

I agree entirely. If I (as a cyclist) am not catered for, I have plenty of other places where I can spend my money and park my bike right outside. Simples

I like the "due care and attention" bit. SMIDSY = criminal offence? Although I struggle with evidence of dangerous driving being a rip off.

perhaps she genuinely thought she was doing it right

I couldn't be that charitable if it were my bike that'd gone. A quick jiggle of the handle would've told her that she'd got it wrong.

Any sign of my bike/ news from insurers, SDK?

I must say this sounds most unfortunate. You guys reach an understanding? I would probably have kicked off and alienated everyone in the house on the basis that I put my stuff where I put it, for a reason.

True

Def go back to the scene and have a REALLY good look for CCTV, including anything from inside a shop/ bar/ casino/ bank etc that might covered the scene of accident. It's been nearly a week and many places delete as a matter of routine. If you can get hold of that then you're laughing. As others have said, do consult a solicitor. The driver sounds like a chancer relying on your ignorance of the law, and the longer you spend worrying about it, the better for him.

Dibs on the spoon please. PM coming.

I might go for the saddle

Was gonna dibs the workmate but the Mrs would have kicked off.

2nd dibs if taht falls through please

(I felt confident though)

It was my first Boris outing today and I was trackstanding like the deputy manager of a McDonalds...in my opinion

I laughed only because the description was so brilliantly entertaining. Glad you're relatively unscathed. I agree, make this as expensive as poss for the driver and employer. Claim for everything that can't be ruled out. It's the only language they seem to understand.

You could keep them clean and checking every couple of weeks

So not gonna happen :) Cheers for the advice though. To be fair, twice in 15 years isn't bad going. The 1st time was clearly shoddy workmanship. I think this one was a crack, from the discolouration of about a 3rd of the metal.

Yes, and fair enough. I just wanted to witness the meanness (is that even a word?)

Post a pic?

I saw a guy this morning at the side of the road who had snapped his crank arm in half...shocking start to the day. Pedal clean off under the shoe!

Happened to me about 30 mins ago coming onto southside of Waterloo Bridge. ouch. Any way to pre-empt? I suspect not, but thought I'd ask.

Done. It's early. Just wanted op to be aware.

I'm trying to think of something clever to say than TWAT!! But he was...

^ never been on one (and prolly never will) does that shit really happen tho?

I've only been on the last 3 or 4 but never seen anything like that. I've seen a couple of cabbies get out of their cars, but they're usually just spoken to calmly by corkers and gently coaxed back behind the wheel.

I'm sure he is. Racism does cut both ways.

Of course, I would hope that these days people understand that even innocent and careless use of language hurts/ offends/ makes life more difficult for others
