I don't know if being left outside (2 years
) has caused it to weather but I was just playing outside with kylie when I thought my hand was bitten. It was a feeling like a splinter. I carried on and felt another one on my hand, then another. I realised that the road must be made of fibreglass and maybe with age, it is starting to splinter. Just to be safe, don't let you cat/s chew the rod. I am going to order a new (long overdue) one as it does't spin any more.
