Miss timed my 10 mile jont out and hut school time, streets filled with big dirty double decker buses - offt made me cough like nothing else!

So I will be avoiding that time again! Mind you I did break my personal best of fastest on a bike 29.9mph, ok is was down a hill and not for long but it felt great! Until I had to break due to pending speedbumps!

    At that speed you could bunny-hop them and totally clear them.
    To err is human, but to make a real balls up takes a super computer.

    Me neither. I can get the front wheel up but I can't guarantee putting it down on the same line and I've never managed to get the rear wheel up. Best I can do is to ride light, out of the saddle and letting the legs absorb the bump.
    Looking for a cycling buddy?
