My accident and the result

[Gadget]

As most of you know I had a small accident involving me and a cycle path. Well, so far it has all
gone well. I phoned my local (Enfield) council and reported the problem. I also informed them that I
would be seeking compensation. They told me that London Transport dealt with the A10 and I would
have to contact them. I then contacted them and they told that for that stretch of highway and
outside agent was used. They thanked me for the information and they would be reviewing their work.
I then contacted the outside agent and reported my problem. Again I informed them that I would be
claiming compensation. They said that this would be OK, but I would have to contact my insurance
company and to get them to send a letter of to the agency. So far so good in my opinion. I have
taken photos of the path and of the crack. Wide enough to lay a 50p coin at the bottom of it. Took
photo of a 20p coin next to the crack. Bike requires the front wheel to be straightened and
replacement tubes both back and front are needed. Also a new road tyre is needed. No other damage to
the bike. No psychical injures and the sprained feeling had gone by the next night.

Had a similar experience a few years ago with the company laying cable tv, and after a few threats,
they paid up for new wheel and two tyres. V glad there were no "psychical injuries"!
