Ouch! Sorry to hear. I hate that roundabout.

Ouch. Hope you heal fast.

Join the growing band of bionic bikers! Get photos of your x-rays to show off to friends at the bar. I has something similar - I was riding again in 5 months - seems like a long time but actually it went quickly. So - enjoy the time out of the saddle and make sure you follow all advice from medics etc. Your cycling fitness pre-accident will pay massive dividends in recovery. Cheers.

Left my house on Friday afternoon in a blaze of sunshine. 15 minutes later the heavy rain started and as I approached Trafalgar Square roundabout, my wheels slipped out from underneath me and I landed directly on my hip. Couldn't support my own weight so went to UCLH for assessment. X-Ray and CT scan revealed: Fractured Femur. Had an operation this evening. Two bolts and a metal plate. Typing this from my hospital bed.
