I would love to see your public liability if a repaired cracked alloy wheel was involved in an accident. Try explaining that in court when a defective wheel has wiped out a bunch of school kids.
There has always been a problem with pavement parking at that point in Euxton since at least 2004! No consideration for pedestrians by a fast and busy A49. Report it to the Neighbourhood police 01257 269021 or 101 or 0800 555 111. Maybe Lancs CC could put up some railings!
VERY close pass on me too. I have reported him to the police. Us cyclists should be protected from people like him
