Get well soon Baggazee.
I always try and ride around manhole covers, but they put some of them in totally stupid places. |

Hey 'Zee, sorry to hear and hope the painkillers are doing their job.
Surely worthwhile reporting the incident? I know when I had my off that Westminster Council were there within half an hour to patch up the hole where a manhole cover that was sinking may have contributed to the crash. Not helful right now, but I was interested to read the article in MCN about road planners being expected to be more bike-friendly in future - ie not putting manhole covers in stupid places. Not holding out much hope, but if they can do ti on the continent.... |

I have to admit I wasn't laughing much at the time. But when the other three guys that I was riding with started taking the p I couldn't help but laugh with that at me. Bike took a couple of weeks to fix and my injuries were no more than a broken thumb.
Errr sorry didn't mean to steal anyone's thread here. I'll just shut up now and climb back under my rock ![]() |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Glad to hear that it'll only be a few weeks until all's well. Also glad my crash was so much less stylish & spectacular! So, on to the important things, how long am I likely to be sitting at home watching DVDs and reading the forum then? ![]() |

ADSL router died, great timing!!
![]() Finally got a replacement. Well, went to the Doc's on Thursday last & he said another 4 weeks & signed me off! I thought that was ridiculous & told work I'd probably be back in a couple of weeks but they told me that if the Doc's signed 4 weeks, I have to stay off 4 weeks! Something to do with insurance probably. Shame! ![]() |

As for manhole placement, I noticed as I went into uni today the turn into george square had three rows of three manhole covers within a meter of each other, in the centre of the turn. I was just glad I was only doing about 5 miles an hour. And I feel for you, with your off, I know how horrible thinking 'This is really going to hurt' as you slide along the ground is. |
