Luckily i don't ride in London so i only have three in 35 years,one car door over the bars job-new wheel paid for by driver,one swerve to miss car turning into a side street ,mounted kerb at speed skimmed down a row of terraced fronts-another front wheel and very grazed/bruised left side,best one last,car pull out from left whilst i'm doing some fair speed downhill,stright into the side and over the top(me and the bike).Car fu#ks off,front wheel nearly touching rear wheel,bike totalled,me somewhat dazed but nothing broken luckily.Of course now i've written this i'm going to have to start wearing a helmet and full body armour.Sods law beckons...;)
