  • Well... In hospital now, about to be discharged. Would like to say thanks to whoever managed to report the incident. I have no recollection of what happened. I woke up in a hospital bed in Lycra, didn't even know I went for a bike ride that afternoon/ evening. In fact, last thing I remember was sleeping in my own bed and the next morning being in a hospital bed. Helmet apparently cracked in half and my CT scan is fine and bruised on one side of my body. Thank goodness I was wearing a helmet!

  • Wow. Heal up soon.

    Bike damage?

  • I haven't even seen the bike yet. Apparently I took most of the damage! I don't think I can hack a cycling holiday in the alpes next week... I hope I don't have to do too much for my bike...

  • Jesus.

  • This ^

  • Helmets do seem to work sometimes though I hate to admit it. Do recover fast wish you well

  • Helmets ftw! Glad you're in one piece

  • Helmets do seem to work sometimes** though I hate to admit it**.

    ??

    Hope you're better soon Ho. Sounds like a lucky escape

  • Yeah. I woke up thinking I had still had an exam to go to haha but I still don't know what happened. I doubt the memories of the last 2 days will come back though.

  • crazy! get better man. did anyone manage to piece it together for you?

  • Just seen this, sounds nasty so glad you are okay.

    Never know. Memory loss is a strange thing - I didn't know who, what or where I was for a good hour after a spill near Brick lane last year.
    Terrifying and confusing at the time but suddenly all came back to me while under observation

  • Just seen this, sounds nasty so glad you are okay.

    • 1 heal up soon.
  • Glad to hear that you are ok.

    Let me know if you need someone to pick the bike up, I'll grab it in the car.

  • Glad to hear you're ok, hope you HTFU soon.

  • Look after your self, hope the injuries heal quickly.
