This then results in me coming into full contact with the door, leaving me on the ground, bike on the opposite side of the road and two other cyclists (one was my mate) stopping.
The man claims it was his fault, which it totally was, because he "didn't look". This was my first time to be doored, and I tell you, it sucks!
The impact had taken a toll on my bike in many ways:
Neck received a long cut across from contact with the top corner of the car door.
Cuts and grazes on knee and side of which I landed on.
And lastly for the driver:
An un-closeable car door.
We exchanged details (and the witness too, thanks for that) and parted ways.
I dropped my bike off at home and went straight to the hospital with my mate.
Checked in at St. Mary's A&E at around **6pm **and left at 7pm.
Luckily there was no bone fractures in the X-ray results, so I was pretty lucky!
Still feeling some pain on my left shoulder :(
Hoping for a speedy recovery!
Was casually cycling down Hereford Rd, W2, near Chepstow Rd, when a navy blue car's driver decides to not look back whilst opening his door.
