These Thorn Bikes... no Good!
« on: December 08, 2004, 10:24:24 am »
Mine made me fall off and break my arm.
I think it is a slow to show fault as I've had this one for about 3 years but it was a catastrophic event so any other Nomad riders out there be careful![:o)]

I've checked my Raven Tour and found that it is only supported by 2 narrow wheels fore and aft.

I suspect that it's an inherently unstable design.

People need to be told about this.

There is also the responsibility of maintaining safe roads ........ our local ones were actually WET this morning. The rain was being allowed to reach the road surface...totally unacceptable.

Why was allowed to happen?

Strangely enough the roads around where I live had frozen ice covering them. This forced me to abandon a long planned expedition.
I am reporting this to the European Court of Human rights!
