I came off my bike at 35 mph OFFROAD whilst mountain biking nearly 3 weeks ago and still have the wounds to prove it A new bike (cus i folded the frame) ,a week off work and 4 x rays later i'm back on a new bike !! Spike can confirm my crash as he was behind me !! SPEED......its not big and its not clever !!! |
