Claim for every bloody penny you can get Dude !

I do hope no one was hurt but how can your foot get stuck ? Did her slippers come adrift or something ?

What if the had been a kid on that push bike ? :crazy:

Jeez not one bike but two :eek2 She could have steered to the left and taken out the bin and woodpile. I took out a neighbours fence once in an automatic. I thought I was in drive, put my foot down and went backwards mounted the kerb and through the fence, and it was my mums car :lol: Manuals are so much safer.

Still, she missed your bin.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Remember to claim for whiplash ...... looking out the window too quickly when you heard the crunch.

Glad nobody was hurt, but it's pretty bad when your bike isn't safe in your own garden :(
