Lucky he had his helmet on... wasn't it?

I have seen many nasty cracks and this guys helmet does not interest me.
This all goes to show that a bicycle is just not a viable means of
transport.

It was very viable after the Japan earthquakes, Mr P.
Whereas the car was not.

Neither of which matters, Mr P.
The point was that any mode of transport is not viable if the medium on
which you are travelling has a poor enough surface to cause you problems. I
believe certain drivers call driving over potholes "a nightmare" and damage
their tyres, wheels, dampers and springs in the process.

I am quite sure that I could drive over this small irregularity in the road
without falling over, Mr Mason.

But if takes an earthquake to make the car non-viable (albeit in a limited
area)...

Shame about Rowan Atkinson - he obviously could not.

Just goes to show that poor observational skills & an unsuitable vehicle
are a dangerous combination.
