Calling someone a 'retard' after they've just binned their bike is pretty low.
Anyway I doubt you'll see any compensation from the council. I think it's fair to say you mis-read the road and over braked causing the bike to stand up. This is pure physics and a completely natural reaction by you.
Until you understand the cause and effect of your input into the bike, might I suggest you go a little steady.
I had a horendous tankslapper caused by an uneven road, that resulted in me skidding down the road on my arse. If i'd been doing the speed limit it wouldn't have happened. Lesson learned. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
