I am still not sure it was a manhole cover to be honest? Do they put them in the middle of the road? It may have just been a bit of oil of something else slippery in the road. Id like to think it wasnt just my bike handling as i normally am able to stay upright 99% of the time but its entirely possible im just not a very good cyclist. I have been watching a lot of bike racing on youtube gearing up to start doing some races next season, maybe subconsciously i wanted to be like the cool kids with their road rash.

In Oz the covers are concrete or if they're metal they have tar over them so 99% is covered and just the edges remain free from tar. Why this country can't do something similar to manhole covers is beyond me. But then the Brexit vote won so I shouldn't really be surprised.
