Biggest moment was one I don't remember - riding home with a mate one night, on a cyclepath, then woke up in a bright white room, unable to move. Crapping myself. Is this what death is like? I thought... Why is my wife here?
Turns out I'd hit the stump of a bollard which I hadn't seen as the streetlight was out and bike lights aint that good. Clipped in as well, so that hadn't helped.
The room was the xray theatre of Milton Keynes general hospital and my wife was there because my mate had rung her whilst waiting for the ambulance and I couldn't move because I was on a spine board with head blocks
Knackered my shoes and shirt, but the bike was fine - Halfords build quality :)
