Evening all.
So that was a fantastic bridges ride. I'd been out and decided instead of turning left and heading home I would turn right and chase the Bridges ride. caught up with you in Wandsworth and had a delightful ride out to Kew. I'm not really sure what happened on the way back, but my Brompton threw me off twice, once in a perfectly straight line. It could be a mechanical issue or maybe the little wheels caught a rut or pothole.
The extent of the damage is one broken clavicle and a lot of musclular pain. 6 weeks without riding :-(
Thanks to everyone who stayed with me, put coats on me and called the ambulance, and chapeau to Lynx who came to the hospital, looked after me and stayed there till morning and stuck me in a cab home. Service above and beyond the call of duty.
