Must hurt if/when you get hit by one. Hailstone can be bad enough, but buckets must hurt like hell.

Riding against the wind is like leaving home attached to a big rubber band.

Ha! Got hit by a bucket full of hailstones once while on a ride: thank CycleChat I was wearing my helmet

Can't have thought much of you, that or their aim was poor & it was meant to land alongside you.
Bet you sold the "Bucket From Heaven" though.

I came across a tree down on a bend leaving the road pretty dangerous. As I warned traffic I phoned 999 and continued to warn on coming traffic. After 30min I again phoned and was told there was no report or details from my mobile and was told trees being down are a council problem...

Thankfully a couple of guys stopped and helped drag the obstruction off the road.....I swear this country is getting worse

I was riding home a couple of weeks ago and came to a crossroads where the hedgerow dropped and the wind was so strong it actually stopped me! I'm only glad it was a head wind as a side wind would have took me clean off. Glad I was on my heavy bike too, I think my carbon would have lifted clean off the ground.
