1st: hit by private cab on Great Eastern St on BMX, skinned my chin, arms, knees and broke a finger
2nd: hit a ped on the cycle path by euston underpass, snapped my wheel, and skinned some limbs again
3rd: caught wheel on curb on Mare St Hackney, handlebars spun round, i stacked and my forearm landed on a sign post that had been cut off at ground level, took 2 inches of meat out of my arm. Should have sued the council, but i couldn't be arsed.
4th: Foxton's cunt turned left in front of me. I lent through the window and spat on the wanker.
5th: Woman pulled out and drove into the side of me, and i landed on the bonnet of a car coming the other way on New North Road, luckily the car i landed wasn't moving that fast, still broke 4+ ribs and have had serious back pain ever since. Woman was drunk (she admitted it) and i did nothing cos I was in shock.
6th: pedal strike on a roundabout recently, slip-slided and fucked my knee pretty bad.
All of these, I only made it to hospital once, and never got seen. Gotta love the NHS. Guess I have been lucky that none of my injuries have been too bad.
