If it weren't for my basket, I'd be dead!

Sara's Woosh Santa Ana seems to have a lot more power than the Woosh Scirocco I had on test.

Or perhaps it's more to do with the amount of weight the respective bikes were carrying.

Well, I had just charged it, so it was particularly zippy!

Sorry to read this, Sara! GWS! Poor basket had it!
Aldi's baskets are made of sturdy metal - Asda sells similar here - there is your replacement

I wonder if you can get carbon fibre baskets?

Blimey! Just told son about crash - all he wanted know was "did anyone see you?".

No they didn't fortunately!

Would it have the same impact absorbing qualities though!

They'd probably dissolve in the rain.

Not much use then.

No harm done - as I said, a bit of headache, but this may well be due to the stress we're under at the minute! No damage to bike, just the basket which is grotesquley squashed but still useable. I think I shall still use it with pride - my bike crash badge of honour!

Would it be wise to reuse something that has sustained damage in a crash though.

As long as Sara does not keep her fresh eggs in the basket - just in case the thing disintegrates.

Slightly OT, but something seems a bit odd with your name screen-name Pat.

It's never wise to put all your eggs in one basket in the first place.
