The beetroot and carrot cake form Pastures has restorative powers. Hope you got some flapjack too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7365#post-76438 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 23:00:59 +0000 Darkerside 76438@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Pleasingly the entire combined momentum of both vehicles acted through my outstretched pedal, resulting in a pleasantly well defined hole in the culprit's wife's BMW's front bumper. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7365#post-76430 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 21:35:41 +0000 kaputnik 76430@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Get well soon Darkerside. Hope there were deeper and significantly more-expensive to buff out scratches left in the Beamer </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7365#post-76425 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 20:46:07 +0000 Dave 76425@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I did crash my Raptobike into the side of a u-turning car actually, while passing a line of stationary vehicles. The guy was mortified that he hadn't checked his mirrors (just assumed there wouldn't be anything there). Fortunately it was uphill, so I got away freely though may have left some recumbent "front infrastructure" marks in his door...</p> <p>One thing I definitely miss now I'm riding a normal bike through town is that I can't see the faces of each driver in their mirrors and play the "are they looking" game. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7365#post-76423 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 20:41:14 +0000 Uberuce 76423@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They're weird looking things, overly complicated and far too low down, if you ask me.</p> <p>Knees, I mean. Sorry to hear yours got a biff. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7365#post-76421 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 20:33:28 +0000 Dave 76421@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dear me, seems like it's the season for darksiders in general - I was involved in a crash on Leith Walk the other day too (although in the end I emerged as the one laying out the punishment).</p> <p>Perhaps I should include this as a metric on my reviews?</p> <p>Hope you feel better soon... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7365#post-76418 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 19:36:40 +0000 Darkerside 76418@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Somewhat unfortunately, I'm now in the position to be able to say how well a Fuego resists being struck by the business end of a BMW. The answer - surprisingly well, and certainly better than my knee...</p> <p>All very slow, so recovering at home with painkillers, tea, and some Percy Pigs. </p>
