It's no small wonder that cyclists are hated nationally when you see the disregard they have for other road and pathway users around here.

Again not really representative of the ordinary cyclist, its a bit off tangent

Alot of those are crash damage though, Carbon is strong but only in the direction is been designed to take load in. I mean what do you expect if you forget your bike is on the roof rack and then drive your car into the garage...

Yes, I'll start this one off, I had to steer round a great big mound of horse poo, whilst riding my aluminium push iron, forcing me out into the middle of the road, affecting my safety, all horses should be forced to wear a nappy
