    How did that happen

    I was fixing my DH mountain bike tonight (which has been sitting it the shed for 2months) when something didnt look right.
    Holy Cr@p Ive bent the handle bars. The left side of the Handle bars is bent 15degrees down towards the floor.
    Thats one more piece of broken equipment this season

    My cousin lent his bike against the front of a prime mover as he knew he would be leaving before it moved. Problem was they were hitching the trailer and it got run over

    He claimed it on his home insurance though and apart from the hassle he did well from the deal.

    That'll do it!

    It's rather unsettling reading about that, I did the first bit of mechanical fixing on my bike for ages tonight (the gearchange cable lost tension), and had just started planning a complete overhaul when I read this

    Oh - and I regularly park my bike in front of the bullbar of the SIII!
