I broke Max's tallbike on the halloween alleycat, by wheelying it and falling off. Still, it broke my right foot, so all's fair. I did another 12 miles with 2 broken metatarsals. And still didn't get the DFL prize.
And back in 2000 a light-jumping car smashed up my old cheap-arsed mountain bike, and my left ankle on Cambridge Heath Road. Then the now-unrideable bike got stolen from outside my house. Thieves are stupid. The bike was no loss, but I was out of action for 4 months, and didn't the LCC's suggested solicitor didn't even reply to my calls. In fact the driver tried to sue me. cunt.
