Came over Tower Bridge turned left onto Queen Elizabeth Street, A van was parked up on the left with its lights on. Slightly dazzled I re-gained sight to swerve round a ped, was thinking how close was that to then hit that massive pot hole in the middle of the road. Queue me sprawled all over the road with a fooked front wheel and a smashed up hand. Not sure if I fell cause of the hole or i tried to bunny hop it and stacked it either way it hurts. £40 cab home later i have a gashed finger and a huge red lump over my left kidney / hip.
Front wheel will need to re-built and my pride is hurt, Any recommendations on where to get it re-built, 36h Open Pro on a Phil. This was Ivan's bike...
Still funny story from the cabbie on the way back home about how he sold up expecting to move to greece with his wife only for her to tell him she had been hiding £50k worth of debt....now he is back out in the cab !
