In my young and foolish days, I had a crappy Tensor 10 speed bike (the
ones with disposable forks, that disposed of themselves at awkward
moments!). Going down Rownham Hill near Bristol at an indicated 50mph,
and there is a corner about half-way down, with a stone wall, a big drop
on the other side, and the brakes were as [censored] as the rest of the bike.
I swear I used this stone wall as a wall of death as I barely made the
corner!
How about unexplained moments? Cycling back from Rugby to Leicester, I
started turning across a dual carriageway to head towards Blaby. Next
thing I knew, I was sitting on the kerb across the dual carriageway,
with people asking if I was alright. No damage to me or the bike, and
20 years later I still have absolutely no idea what happened!
