Hello,
Short question that I'm hoping someone can help with. 2 weeks ago I was cycling on a high street at 20mph and next thing I know I'm on the floor. On checking the area, it appears I hit raised lettering on the road at a bus stop. The lettering is over 2cm higher than the road surface in the area that I would have hit it (thank god for the GoPro) and I'm wondering if anyone knows whether this is over a maximum recommended height for paint on a road surface?
On inspecting the paint it appears the council have just painted over the existing layers time after time to a level which was enough to buckle my front wheel and throw me from the bike.
Much appreciated!
