2018 is about to end and it’s time for an update, I am not used to bother people with this kind of exercise but I have to share an important thing.
As you know, one year ago I was travelling with my bike to Dieppe for a nice and peaceful ride to eat some mussels at the seaside but I never arrived. I had a very serious accident, I broke my femur in several pieces because of a very violent fall in circumstances I didn’t understand at that moment. I was alone on a road riding at 22 km/h in a very smooth mood when suddenly without any reason my bike run out in a turn.
I have been lying  for half an hour on that road waiting for the ambulance, suffering like a beast, scanning the road and searching for a piece of oil, a clue that could elucidate my fall, but nothing… The nightmare started and lasted 2 months in the hospital after an important surgery. I have a 51 cm nail in my femur and few screws, my leg is now 2.5 cm shorter than the other. I let you imagine how things are more complicated and painful now.
Anyway, the important thing for now is that after coming back on the scene, analyzed and having thought, doubt about the circumstances, I can say what happened that morning because something was different on my bike that day.
I had new tires that a guy called Jean-Philippe gave me to try. In fact, he is the French distributor of the Compass Company.
I can say today that this f…. tires are responsible for my accident, there was no oil, no manhole cover, nothing… just a granular asphalt but absolutely no reason for my fall.
So I just have an advice and a conclusion:
DON’T EVER USE COMPASS TIRES, THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS!
They have a good look and that’s it. I wrote to Jean-Philippe @211cycles who gave me this tires to let him know what happened and I am still waiting for his reply…
I won’t make them any problems but I need to share this information with the maximum people in order to avoid future accidents because I am not the only one.
Have a nice and safe ride!
