    Andrew burns came off his bike en route to his surgery.

    Says not a pothole, but doesn't say what did happen.

    Much be catching. ..

    I too had a tumble last night. Took a corner too wide/fast and ran into some leaf mulch and lost the front wheel. It's a corner I do every day so should have known better.

    A few scratches on me and the bike. A useful/ painful reminder to take a bit more care.

    Stay safe out there folks...

    @HankChief - sorry to hear that. I refer you to Rule 64.

    I hope he gets well soon as we need more Andrew Burnses in the council. However I sometimes wonder how he can cycle Gilmour Place - Meadows nearly every day and not fire off a few rockets to the roads department. He pays council tax too!

    Hopefully he isn't hurt, however I hope it was due to the state of the roads and his bike is damaged.

    This may sound crass amd insensitive but the only way our council will make the roads safer for bikes is if they come a cropper too.

    I think if he were to get infrastructure changed, the opposition would make a lot of it like Labour made of the Health Minsiter asking for his constituency's mental health provision be saved after Sturgen wanted to close them after the NHS in Scotland suggested they could close them.

    Just heard of an off - involving police and ambulance opposite the Commie Pool a few days ago.
