I must be missing something. If someone can help me out that would be great.
So I'm riding along and I hit an obstacle. It can be anything, I dunno, a pothole, matchbox, grid, car, ****, whatever.
I damage myself or my bike and get about chasing the relevant individual for recompense. Splendid, I've got the money for my broken rim, all is well in the world.
Hang on, no, I effectively sued the council, they've now got 200 quid less to fix potholes with. Oooh, they're even less likely to fix it now.
Maybe I should have looked where I was going and taken responsibility for my own actions? That's what sensible people do, right?
