My husband had a leaky Defender in Nottingham a while ago, kindly phoned it in to the council to clear up, and they then sent him a bill for £100-ish for the work involved. Puts him off reporting it next time of course! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15123#post-193225 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 14:59:18 +0000 chdot 193225@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's alright I only took 2 pix. </p> <p>I was on 17" Kojak slicks. </p> <p>Didn't actually slip, but certainly unnerving. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15123#post-193224 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 14:42:19 +0000 earthowned 193224@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>ARGH!

After a big crash a few years ago when I ended up stopping my bike using my face I now get the fear when I see a rainbow road. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15123#post-193176 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 23:31:18 +0000 PS 193176@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That diesel spill had worked its way down Calton Road towards the back entrance to Waverley as well. Must have been a particularly leaky fuel tank... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15123#post-193175 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 23:24:26 +0000 chdot 193175@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Got mildly paranoid when I came across significant diesel(?) spillage Leith St to N Bridge -</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/vFmfep"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/535/19479639729_bb15d1dea8.jpg"></a></p> <p>Cycled cautiously with no 'leaning into corners'. </p> <p>Survived, but not pleasant. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15123#post-193173 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 22:44:33 +0000 LaidBack 193173@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There are some good people you see!</p> <p>Rain today did make for this sort of thing.
