That sounds shit, but at least you're ok. Shame about the bike, was it rim vs chainring? Maybe it's a chance to upgrade to cool carbon wheels... :)

I crashed in this exact same way 5 years ago, and whilst the bike was fine, I ended up with a broken scaphoid. Two months in a cast and another year until it felt right again, so consider yourself lucky!

Me down at 6pm going down Westferry Rd tonight . Taken out by a nodder on a BSO wobbling in the gutter who then decided she wanted to take a right without any indication or so much as a look as I took a very wide berth whilst overtaking (such a wide birth I was on the opposite side of the road) . Police wouldn't come for a cyclist v cyclist which I thought was pretty shit. Pretty gutted about my Bowman tbh. Broken 6700 lh shifter, scratched pedal and some pretty large gauges out of my rim. Got her details so hopefully she'll stump up the cost or else I'll need to go down the legal route. Ambulance was called for her leg which hadn't turned up after an hour and 50 mins which I think is pretty poor form.
So very lucky not to get hit by cars going in either direction as it's a busy stretch of road at that time of day.
I'm OK, a few scratches and but my cycling mojo has seemingly evaporated however I'm home with my children and that's by far the most important thing.
It's just such a massive inconvenience for one nodders inattention.
