Nice to know I'm not the only plonker out there!
Public transport....shit...forgot about that bit....now there's an eye-opener! Tube escalators on crutches - feck!!!!! Getting to a seat on a bus before the driver floors the go pedal and tips you on your arse. Black cab? Forget it - not made for people on crutches with steel reinforced bones. And the final leg to the office. Slithery wet pavements and not-very-grippy crutches. I confess I am a convert to the London bus - always my second choice after the cycle.

This is what it's all about man!
I had similar.
Big mountain bike smash last June - thoroughly smashed my left side (multiple fractures in my shoulder, collarbone, ribs, radius, ulnar, wrist) and nearly lost all use of my hand.
Three weeks in the 'ozzy, 4 operations and plenty of physio.
Followed by 9months on public transport.
Just into my fifth month back on the bike (12miles each way commute with regular laps of Regents thrown in) and feel fit and capable again.
Did the RideLondon100 and the bike TT as part of a team triathlon in Aug.
I fucking loves it.
Here's to bikes!
