I am so sorry it happened in the first place ..... but it looks you have a good head on your shoulder and brush it off, even see the humor in it. Very good attitude !
I am picturing "the event" in rather dramatic form with thousands of oil burning/ smoke belching 2 stroke mopeds all accelearting at the same time leaving just inches from you body while passing ......
good enough for a nightmare ...
The Handlsestem on the newer boardwalks ( 2005 and younger has indeed been changed ) still not a bad idea to get some kind of "locking"device around your lever . I have seen some interesting velcro contraptions which should work well ... another plus of these is that you could use them to hold the bike together when its folded ( in lieu of a magnetic latch found on the more expensive dahons )
all the best and no more Mayday please
Thor
