  • I had a pretty nasty crash when my bike completely slipped from under me last night resulting in a dislocated shoulder, broken ribs and various cuts and grazes.
    I was riding in a separated cycle lane which has a leaking drain cover that over time has created a weird slime/moss residue that’s really slippy. Is it worth chasing the council for some kind of pay out for damages or would it be the water company?
    Im pretty pissed off as I’m now out of work for 6 weeks (I’m a bike courier) and money is already tight!

  • Oh no. Hope you are getting the attention and treatment you need.

    IANAL, etc. and I am certainly not an expert in this kind of thing. But have you anyone who can get out to recce and photograph the site - especially before anything might be cleaned up? Also check for advice given to others in the What to do in the case of an accident or the Pothole threads, in case there is good advice in there?

    Also think about contacting LCEF, if they're still going - https://lcef.wordpress.com/in-case-of-accident/ londoncourieremergencyfund@gmail.com

    Heal up & hope you're ok.
