Durham congestion charging and recumbent trikes

I was running in Durham this lunchtime and I passed a guy on a recumbent
trike emerging from Saddler Street and heading towards the congestion
charging barrier. Unfortunately, I was going the other way so I didn't se
him leave the CC area but I did wonder if the trike would fit between the
barriers and the rising bollard. Could be nasty!

A friend of ours in York was passing a rising bollard thingy on his
recumbent trike (following a bus) and the bollard came up underneath
him.

IIRC he wasn't hurt , but it bent one of his track rods (oo-er missus!)

No doubt the claim for compensation has already been delivered to
the council.

I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government
prevents me using the RIP Act 2000.

I know not. It was some time ago in any case.
