I was traveling around 20mph and if you can see my map 9 First scrape on google. On map 9 you will see on Layham road a zig zag where I fell. As I approached the corner I knew it was slightly faster than I should have been going for the conditions and as the corner is sharp. It could have been diesel on the floor or as trees overhang the dew from the branches. I braked and the front wheel slid away as my shoulder hit the ground taking most of the impact as I slid some yards down the road. The bike rear gear changer has scrap marks covering the screw heads and my shoes, front break lever and saddle have scrape marks. All parts which can be replaced easily. As this is the first accident I have had on my bike for a long time. I know from now on I will drive with caution.
If you are reading this then I hope you drive safely too.
Hi Vinny,
ReplyDeletehope you are well and you ride your bicycle fast and long. Are you happy with the riding qualities of the bike? The frame is now available also in stainless steel. You may check out the SIMONCINI Blog:

The bicycle is called "Scatto Fisso S5" because it'a a singlespeeder. I've just finished the translations.
Best regards
