And sunken pipe trenches on roundabouts so as to concentrate signalling,braking (with one hand because signalling),one or more pinch flats and dented rims, and damn near being run over because it is night and the entire area is unlit so said signals are hard for drivers entering roundabout to see. Yes Burwood Council I am very definitely looking at you. Zebee |

Back when I was on an inline skateboard, I used to duck under them. At well above sprinting speeds. :-) Thinking back, though I had clear lines of sight, it's still amazing I never hit anything or anyone... |
