• Rode the 65 up to Richmond today around half 1ish and ended up getting off at Robins Court as the traffic getting into town was bad (as per), noticed there was no oncoming traffic and the reason became apparent as I got near the turn off for Richmond hill.

    A black Toyota Prius had collided with a road cyclist, I think it was a woman but I can't be sure - I didn't get much of a look. Looks like a case of SMIDSY as the car had been pulling out of the T juntion onto Petersham road and had a big dent in the drivers door. The cyclist was lying on the road with a neckbrace and the police/paramedics seemed to not be in too much of a rush so hopefully it was fairly minor and the brace just precautionary.

    Heal up fast unknown cyclist!

  • Hi. This was me.
    A nice bruise on the windpipe and 3 stitches in my chin. All things considered I feel rather lucky.

    (The only thing that pisses me off is that in my head it feels like I should have somehow avoided it, even though it was SMIDSY. Meh)

    Thanks

  • Hey, glad to hear you're ok!
