I saw somebody trying to get their knee down whilst going around a roundabout recently near Ipswich. The bike was leaning at about 10 deg from the vertical and he was hanging off the saddle by his other bent knee...what a kn*b! He looked pathetic.

I have very rarely seen anybody leaning their bikes on the road that warrants getting their knee down.

Perhaps those that can decide that their knee caps are too precious to be damaged by the ****e surface, pot holes, kerbs or drains.

Remember, you dont go round the corner quickly with your knee down if it destabilises you by hitting a solid object and spits you off...save it for the track!
