While the polo was off the road because it failed its test, i commuted for the first time in roughly a year and i forgot how Flipping dangerous it was! in the space of three days I had my handle bars hit twice, back tyre hit 4 times at the lights, narrowly avoided the flying remnants of Starbucks’ finest being lobbed from a window at 30+mph and almost dropped it on an oily roundabout thanks to someone who had popped there engine (found them up the next street ringing the AA)

Keeps me aware as a driver though! Think everyone should commute on bike for a minimum of 5 days a year.
