On my way to big smoke yesterday, at bottom of road at roundabout, going really not very fast, thought-Hmmm, chicken strips, wanna get rid of those, I wonder if I can take this at a bit more of a lean-
No, I couldn't
Very slow off, bungs did their job, brake lever a little bent, but still usable, carried onto London (blummin cold

)
So am I right in thinking that
1) I should probably wait for warm tyres next time?
2) If I'd been going faster, I might have made it?
