Hit by a taxi :(

Hi all,

for most of you - long time no see! but here I am - with few scratches and my lovely old low pro Rossin less :(

yesterday i got hit from the back by a taxi on a xroad of oxford street and dean street (Cheers to guys who stopped to ask if im cool)

Im going to try and follow the whole situation with this bloody driver who shouted to me (after police left) 'NEXT TIME IF YOU WANT TO DIE JUST CALL ME!'

Anyway, my frame is a bit bent and mt rear wheel doesnt really exist anymore.

my question is - have you got any cheap wheel that will be getting me from A to B while i will be saving to rebuild my original wheel...?

Emilie, say one more time HUGE thanks to your housemate for lending me the wheel to get home!

Speak soon,
Mike.

Anytime dude, heal quick.
I'll throw some Gin at Tricity Bendix for you.

I have a stock Fuji Track rear wheel which needs a cog and lockring but is otherwise serviceable going spare. Drop me a PM and I can get it to you pretty easily as I'm not working.

Glad you're OK, even if the bike isn't. Should the cab's insurance not be paying up?

Hey dude, I am the guy on the red frame who stopped, glad you are feeling a bit better about the incident!
still cant believe police said he wasnt supposed to give you insurance details!
I will ask about wheel today for you, bu probably best if you just find andy on here and ask him or send him an email.....

good luck.

I will try my best, going to call DVLA and try to find out who is his insurer.

Than call them and see if there is a chance to get him pay for it.

I have eye witness and there is cctv at this place in oxford street!

so hopefully....

cheers man! i know....they were useless!

wac!

i know man! really, but the guy was a total CNUT! he hit me and than jumped out of his car swearing at me like crazy...

BAAAAAD!

A nice d-lock to the bridge of the nose would've shut the cunt up!

I've got a 15T cog to go on that wheel. I'm not working either so no issues with getting it to you if you want it.

Did you get any details from the driver?

did you get the cab licence number?

I have his full address, name and reg. number, also also a number of police records.

hope this is enough???

bad luck. mike.

rossin is dead?

Emilie, say one more time HUGE thanks to your housemate for lending me the wheel to get home!

Yo... you're welcome, glad you're OK.

@ tricitybendix - cheers! really you saving my life here!

@ Shinscar - its a bit bent, and it doeant look great, i will post some pics later. but i hope it can be saved, really need a wheel, and it looks like i might be able to build something out of what guys here offer... and with time, hopefully will be back to some nice wheels... but i hope rossin will survive...

so you stacked it in oxford street and got a spare wheel from the depths of east london? man thats good going

Taxis were prettry angry yesturday, busy roads with in-decisive people init. my few extra miles in to the pea souper that was london roads was met with a few angry taxi incidents, its a one off man and you were probably the 50th person who caused him to slow down or got to close and he took it out on you. shit break! i hope the bike is salvagable.

i'd give you my spare back wheel but Cake knicked it ;)

its a bit bent

so is Ray but he has been riding about for time... gaffer tape and elbow grease will sort that

A nice d-lock to the bridge of the nose would've shut the cunt up!

Some things are easier said on here, but would you really do such a thing. Boy this forum really gives some guys a big set of balls, but sitting in front of that monitor sits a little geek by the name of PISTANATOR, the hardest forum member of them all. Its working buddy we are all shaking in our boots.

Why is there so much vitriol in this that I can't take seriously with your avatar?
