It's finally happened after over four years of ownership and due to one miscalculation this morning, my beautiful Simoncinni is no more
I am disappointed in myself for the manner of it's demise.
Cycling along a busy narrow street with traffic stuck on the right. Car in front of me slams on the anchors, to turn right. I move to go down the inside of it. Then she decides she does not want to turn right so accelerates past me. I look over my right shoulder to see if it is safe to rejoin the flow and am accelerating in the process when bang. She has slammed on her brakes again and I have no where to go except the rear windscreen.
Technically my fault obviously. I apologised, but there was no damage to her car and I noticed this when I got to work. Damn, I love this bike
