Oh dear, so sorry to hear that! At least the person that hit me has a conscience. I sent her over a list of costs and looks as though she'll pay but am sure there is the possibility of her disappearing before the money comes into my account. In saying that, she's a journalist so pretty hard to hide! She's a really nice lady and actually feel a little bit bad in asking her to stump up (in a very English way) but must keep reminding myself it wasn't my fault. Faith in humanity restored (so far).
I had a cycle on cycle crash last year, was cycling round the roundabout on Rotherhithe New Road only to bit by a local youth cycling fast the wrong way round the roundabout. Hit me straight on before I could brake taking me off my bike. I did not break anything but I still have the scars. My lovely sloping crown chrome forks were totally mashed but other than that bike little damaged. The bloke was a total waste of space when I was on the ground recovering myself his response was to shout at me 'get up' then his excuse for going the wrong way round the roundabout was he was on the run from the police. He of course did not offer any recompense for the bent forks.
