Hey there guys,
Some of you may remember about three months ago some bloke who had recently joined this site and had been to only a couple of drinks nights got himself into an altercation with a lorry and had his legs crushed on Old Street roundabout. Well that bloke was me and after having come out of hospital, escaped from my zimmer frame and crutches, I managed to ride my bike this morning for the first time. The whole 2 miles from my flat to Kiwi cycles to get the back wheel un-buckled, anyway!
Anyway, I know had loads of support on this website, but I really wasn't in the frame of mind to really think too hard about biking or anything beyond getting well again, which is why I haven't been on here since the accident. I just wanted to say that I am back up and on wheels again, even if it is with slightly "altered" legs, and a massive thank you to Casper who wrote a little message from me that he picked up from me while I was in hospital. You are a star, as is everyone else who wished me a safe recovery.
Hope to see you all again soon, once my bike is unbent again.
Twooo
