Scooters always slow down at intersections. Falling off a scooter at any speed can be dangerous. It's shoulders and head which hit the ground first, every time I've seen them topple over. It's a good job kids bounce eh? Rubber bones and all that.

From the driver's point of view, he might have simply assumed that the woman was a pedestrian, because escooterists are not terribly visible. Their profile is slim because of the riding position. Cyclists ride a bit higher and wear helmets. The driver might have glanced briefly to check for...

Electric scooters are deathtraps. It doesn't take much for them to topple over. This idiot fell over on the other side of the road, for no reason I could see. I checked to see if he was ok, he said he was. He shouted "It's a show mate!" after he fell over and was picking himself up.

I saw this today. This video isn't high quality, but I hope you can see a guy giving his young daughter a lift to school on an unsafe IMHO electric scooter. Vey irresponsible! :(

Saw my Consultant - he sent out a proxy this time, who told me that it was indeed a titanium implant in my wrist and they they don't "Usually" remove them anymore... he then went on to mention that screws can break during removal, new fractures could be caused... He said he had no idea why that...

I bought stainless steel knee and elbow pads, but haven' used them as often as Ithought I would and they wouldn't have prevented a broken wrist and titanium implant.

With a banged knee, you go off lightly compared to Jodel https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/unavoidable-bicycle-badger-collision.42374/page-2#post-634213

I'm still very pleased indeed with this bright "1800 LM" 20W LED Motodafish bike light. Because my camera sets video too dim, due to the brightness metering of the centre, I've manually increased exposure by two stops, to better represent the way my eyes see brightness (maybe a stop less...

Is that camera attached to a badger? It's speed looks familar...

Flashbacks and wrist-breakage PTSD were triggered eailer on tonight, when I saw another badger. I'm pretty sure it isn't the same one, it's smaller and didn't cause me any injuries. I still can't reach all the guitar strings, but I'm working on it. The broken hand is darker and redder than...

I know, he just got startled while waiting on the side of the road for a clear way across like a lot of wild animals do. I couldn't see him when I eventually got up in agony with a crunchy feeling wrist. I don't know how far he managed to wander away. We encroach on their paths.

Damn thing won't bend enough to reach all electric guitar strings - but I can now get to four of them instead of two, so that's progress! Bloody painful playing the guitar though, and that hand is a redder and a darker colour than the other one, which worries me about gangarene and having to...

Hey I'll take any sympathy offered ;) Turns out, chicks dig scars... but it hasn't got me laid yet! :( But I also post the video periodically to genuinely warn people about badgers jumping out from bushes directly in front of one's bike wheel, which could conceivably happen I suppose on a long...

BEWARE OF BADGERS! :eek:

I linked 60mm wide mudguards, not 53mm - to be honest, I'm struggling to understand why you ordered 53mm wide mudguards. Which tyres did you change to?

There's definitely less strain on the wrists with a more upright riding position

Depite my recent wrist breakage incident, I was saddened to see this dead badger about an hour ago. No, I don't recognise it. I'll see if the Council will collect this unfortunate animal for safe disposal, BE AWARE OF BADGERS! :(

I'm getting flashbacks it's like 'Nam man, like 'Nam! BEWARE OF BADGERS!!! :eek::eek::eek:

If I can bear the loss of peace and quiet, I might simply try adding a couple of thick zipties to the forks instead, because that particular noise maker adds drag: The product advert -
