Just been knocked off my bike. I was about to turn right off Westbourne Park Road into Great West Road and a car exiting Great West Road turning right onto WPR just drove straight into the side of me. Fortunately he was going slowly. Will check the frame out in the morning but seems like I got away with this one. Just a bit shaken up. Got his contacts and reg number in case there is damage to the bike and I need to make a claim - will report it to the police in the morning.
Just checked the bike and it generally seems to have come out of this unscathed - a missing bar end seems to be the extent of damages. I, however, am very sore and can see some bruising on my right shoulder and right leg. I will visit the GP this afternoon but does anybody know how quickly I need to report this to the police if I have sustained more than a superficial injuries - can it wait till tomorrow or after I have seen a doctor?
