PSML that driveway slope is ridiculous!!! My word.

Rode through a lovely diesel spill on a roundabout this morning with injury_ian after work. Didn't know much about it until I was on it, got through fine though thank goodness!

To be honest I don't tend to worry about diesel unless it's in a place where I know I have to stop or move off on, mainly stopping. As long as no sudden movements are made on it the bike will sail through. My off on thursday was a result of me having no choice but to apply a small amount of brake because the approach to the roundabout was on a small incline and instinctive braking to make sure I didn't roll into the path of a car just resulted in me being thrown on the floor lol.

Ah ok. Yeah as a newb I thought diesel took no prisoners but it's not quite so unforgiving it seems. That driveway gives your brakes a good work out every day :P

No it's just old and very well used, the worst damage came last winter, all the cracks froze and made a right mess
