Poodling Around Town

Poodling Around Town

12 Mar 2015

I have a few bikes, but I use a classic Vespa scooter to pootle – or poodle – to work on. The word is fairly apt because it was actually a poodle which ran out in front of me, knocking me off my bike.

Branching Out

Right, I want my money back

26 Feb 2015

You march, jaw set and determined, into your local dealers. With a gimlet stare you demand your money back. You are then told to sod off. There are more urban myths and false expectations about what your consumer rights are than in just about any other field of law.

A bald tyre doesn’t make it all your fault

19 Feb 2015

I was involved in a very nasty crash. It might well stop me tram working or walking normally ever again. A car driver turned right across me on a cold misty morning. She’s taken a driver Improvement course. However, the police found my rear tyre was bald – not terribly, but still Illegal.

Do I cancel my policy?

08 Jan 2015

I sold my bike to a mate who happens to be old bill. He told me if I don’t tell my insurer I have sold the bike it’s fraud. I don’t really want to tell them as there will be a cancellation fee of £30, and the policy only runs for another two months.

Reasonable Hire Bike

I was bimbling to work last week on my battered old scooter worth about £300 (I save the Harley for the weekends and the car when it’s raining!) when some silly old sod pulled out and knocked me off. No real harm done, and I didn’t get hurt thankfully.
