    No water this time. But a fine example of footway cycling.

    The damage looks expensive.

    The fridge-freezer insurance is obviously in for a caning.

    But here's one where it wasn't the fault of the rider (according to a commentator).

    I expect that some "motorist" was responsible, by not being the
    requisite number of miles away.

    And a few more (obvisouly the fault of the race officials and spectators
    in the first one):

    IrCOm not a poorly-paid bicycle technician, but I think that rider has just discovered that the impact resistance of carbon-fibre composites depends largely on the characteristics of the matrix resinrCa.

    Little wonder that some 16% of UK cycle deaths arise from Single Vehicle AccidentsrCaThey just donrCOt seem to look ahead, do they? Now if motorists drove like they cycle, you could hear the cyclist lobbyists screams of
    outrage a thousand miles away.

    Loss of static friction depends on the composition of the tyre and the characteristics of the road surface. DonrCOt these cyclists know anything??
