To further annoy me, like I needed it, one of my velcro fucking straps let go again on the way down Hornsey hill. No biggie, skid the other side. Other fucking velcro piece of shit let's go. OH FUCK!!! Managed to slow down safely,thank christ. Re-do the straps, give a tug to make sure they're ok and set off again slowly. Try a skid, strap comes undone, bollocks. Traffic stops suddenly, skid again and you've guessed it other strap lets go. Cue Geoff hitting a parked car sideways. Fuck! No apparent damage to car but bike won't roll. Carry bike home and find rear triangle bent. Wank!
Lesson to learn. Bin your Burro velcro straps especially if your brakless. This could have been so much worse! At least its only a langster that's possibly died.
