• Bikes can be replaced. Spines not so much. From experience there's a certain psychological element when going from JRA to "shit, I can't move my legs". Sucks your bike is fucked, but you're "lucky" the impact only damaged some metal.

    Their insurers should pay up. You could contact them direct with the details. For me, the bike and kit costs were paid very soon afterwards. The rest of it took 3+ years of rehab, arguing, chasing, etc. to finally sort out.

  • Oh yeah completely - I was being pretty flippant when I said I might be better off if hurt, I know I am really lucky!

    I'll get it sorted and I'm also pretty lucky in that I'm not screwed even if I didn't manage to get the bike replaced, I can ride a different bike.
