My mum had three of her four hip replacements there, so obviously she liked the service so much she kept going back.
The worst hazard of this kind I've encountered is the edge of drains/manhole covers/etc. when riding a Brompton. The tiny wheels have absolutely no ability to ride over even very small ridges and so will just skid along the edge, causing a sphinctre-clenchingly awful moment of fear. Interestingly I've never noticed any problems cycling over road paint.
