20th February 2006, 7.45pm: Gorbals Street, Gorbals, Glasgow
Opposite the old long derelict Gorbals Brewery, this umbrella flattened into the bus lane. The whole street is red tarmaced and pot-holed; the frequent buses and perhaps the low-grade tarmacadam combining to make the road an assault course of ridges and holes. Normally at this point on my ride home I'm carefully navigating all these road traps and running red lights, but spot this as I fly by.
