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?
