I'm sure you've all seen it from the Tour of Flanders, but here is why you should keep your head up and look where you're going.

Ouch! And I think even Grahame would have trouble with that front wheel.

I like the way the front wheel, f*cked as it is, comes lolloping up like a faithful old dog as its master lies on the deck :lol:

I remember riding through that section and thinking, they really do have some interesting street furniture arrangements. Reckon its gotta be something to do with the strength of Belgian beer, the planners must always have a few Duvel's or something at lunch time.
