Well, it's not magnetism. I think however that the use of kitchen waste to construct a tyre has accidently reproduced an ancient Wiccan compound previously used to summon flinty cave spirits against Roman armies.Beetle wrote: Do you ride around, and hope there are no stray pieces? Or stop, dismount, pick up bike, walk it around, then when you're three or four kilometers up the road put the bike down and get back on? Or isn't four ks far enough for the magnetism that Taterskins have for glass and debris?
The trick will be to get Continential to stop stirring the eggshells/potatoes/human hair "widdershins" - that is against the direction of movement of the sun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widdershins
If they stirred their unholy brew the other way, it makes a tasty soup instead.
