A terrifying study shows that surface contamination - like diesel, oil, or loose gravel - is a contributing factor in 15% of fatal single-vehicle bike accidents. 💀
For car drivers, a diesel spill is just a smelly annoyance. For us, it’s an invisible death trap that turns the road into ice while we are leaning in for that perfect corner. We spend thousands on advanced tyres and suspension, but none of it matters when regulators ignore leaky fuel caps and councils ignore spill reports. We just get standard excuses: "They must have been riding too fast."
🚨 OUR STANCE: Poorly designed commercial fuel caps that leak diesel should be illegal. Biking is a family of riders, and we're tired of seeing friends go down due to other people’s negligence.
