• Can confirm, fucking geeasy out there. Went down on Layham’s Road this afternoon, just turned front wheel on that chicane around the police dog place, wheel just shot away from under me, slammed HARD inc hitting side of head… in A&E after couple of angelic drivers sorted me out and in particular one who drove me and bike home.

  • Thanks Oliver. Yes, exactly at that spot. Tyre just carried on ignoring my request to turn right, not at crazy speed though one does tend to pick up speed in the preceding mile.

    Very good point about making the same error. I have to respect the wishes of loved ones (one in particular), so I will be using a lid on the roads from now.

  • Definitely the first one - I rode up it yesterday morning and the righthand of the two arrow signs in the street view pic is bent out of shape, I wondered if a car had crashed there and leaked oil all over the road.
