    York: Tuesday morning @ 08:30
    Bin lorry didn't see me and turned right into me at road junction.
    No time to avoid.
    Managed to hit him sideways on, and "shoulder-barge" rather than head on collision.

    Smacked the windscreen with the side of my helmet, then bounced off and down.

    Result:

    • fractured windscreen (aww)
    • bruised shoulder
    • twisted bars
    • a few cuts and bruises
    • a very apologetic company manager offering to pay for repairs asap.

    I didn't report to the Police, but have witnesses and photos and admission from driver.

    I just consider myself lucky, and will probably get the price of a nice new pair of wheels out of them (and a replacement helmet!)

    Any recommendation on wheels then?
