On Sunday midday this happened.
This on a fairly hairy road near where I work.
The result
It's under control now, but what a mess.
Has wiped out all Landlines to the area.
Try running a town hall in a state of alert with just one cellphone Hotspot!.
I'm a bit torn tbh.
It's to early to know - but the village I work in is already seriously Anti-Bike.
The guy was fine.
The bike exploded, which is rare.
His Insurance company must be fretting.
But it is **** like this that starts the banning of bikes on certain roads like in Austria.
And when it is one of my routes to work - that would piss me off royally.
Yes that's petty, but whilst I don't know - but can guess what happened.
The road has been an unofficial Pikes Peak type of "circuit" for years.
Look what happened even when it was official.
