• The cops happened to arrive within seconds, but then I stood around bleeding for the better part of an hour while they undertook their incident investigation. When they established that my bike wasn't rideable and I would need a taxi one of them thoughtfully gave me an empty evidence bag to sit on so I wouldn't bleed on a cabbie's seat (!).

    Woulda called an ambulance, personally. Heal up, sounds like no fun at all.

  • I was knocked off in Feb -worried that I was hurt I called police and ambulance - the guy who knocked me off in his BMW didn't. The police arrived - and after an hour and no ambulance the police took me to Whittington in the cop car - bike in the back with policeman 1 and me in the front with policeman 2! Even bought me a coffee....top guys. But no chance of an ambulance. Their words not mine.

  • Fair enough, and damn, you've been through the mill!

    I've suspected that if you get up and limp on to the pavement you are less likely to get the help you need from the person who decked you, official channels and willing strangers; I reckon it's best not to get up and off the road unless you are in obvious and immediate danger.
