Some of you may know of Mary. 6 weeks ago she had a run in with a van cutting across her on the old kent road, writing off her beloved Dawes. Well after a bit of time we finally got all the parts for her new bike ready. A Surly Steamroller frame set, with an Armourtex powder coat that she proudly built up herself. Fast forward two days and she is taking the bike out on one of her second rides. Heading up towards Angel along the Essex Road a car traveling towards her pulls out right across Mary's path causing her to brake suddenly, flip the bars and end up on the floor. Turns out that the car that was in the wrong was an unmarked police car.
Luckily Mary's injuries weren't as bad as they potentially could have been, she is off the new bike for a few weeks until her hands heal up and her swollen face should go down in a few days.
Mary's main worry was her new Surly which survived the crash with nothing but a tweaked handlebar.
Keep safe out there people!
