Ah man... I hope you a speedy recovery and let us know when you feel like having visitors or need anything?
HPs. These guys seem good for any sort of claims against idiot drivers etc. http://www.leighday.co.uk/

Hiya, I thought I'd drop you all a message as I've hit a bit of "down time".
I was cycling back home from Crate Brewery, East London along Hackney Road with my friend Chris on 10th June. As we approached the junction of Shoreditch High Street and Old Street, a car from behind accelerated past me and turned into me and my bike. I hit the ground and lost contiousness. Emergency services were called and the driver who had hit me stopped. My right collar bone has been broken, my right hearing has been damaged, my skull is broken, and my brain has some luckily minimal damage, but it had been bleeding for several days. It's going to take a little while for me to get back up to a normal sense of life, but I feel fortunate.
I've been out of Hospital now for 3 days. I'm starting to try to get myself up to some form of normality. I've got a few appointments to attend various doctors. There were fortunately several witnesses that saw the crazy driver's actions, so a claim will be made against this dangerous persons actions.
Whilst I was in hospital, I amazingly recognised the two guys who helped me off the road. They have invited Me & Chris to go in and meet them at their Air Rescue helicopter, which I'm looking forward to immensly. They are truly an amazing pair of guys, who help people in desperate states every day. Not everybody survives.
So there you go, I've had a tough couple of weeks. Just thought I'd let you know, and wish all the best for you lot. Have great races this weekend, and loads of fun ... I'll be back as soon as I'm fit to ride.
