So just going along minding my own business on my bike. Plastic bag dropped buy a litter lout blows into the road and under my bike.
Rear deraileur gets trapped,
Rear mech hanger snaps - £19 + hassle of fixing
Rear mech after being ripped off slams into wheel and breaks a spoke and send wheel out of true £26
Rear mech hits rear chain stay - carbon fiber holed! - Cost either about £200 or £1,800 for new frame if it cant be fixed.
All this cos of a plastic bag - be careful out there

I am debating which is worse - it's an awful lot of money to loose.0

And Wales too. In work, distribution warehouse for a supermarket, we keep two types of supermarket carrier bag, English and Welsh. The only difference between the two is the Welsh bags have a barcode on them so they can be scanned at the till.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0 -
