Any question answered...

Took what would have been a minor tumble on Sat. Ended up not being so minor because I landed square on top of the mini-evo in my bag and ended up in A&E for the rest of the day checking for broken ribs
Anyway, this has convinced me to never want to carry a ulock close to my body ever again.
How about lock holsters? Anyone that uses one ever had the experience of falling on top of the hip with the lock between your body and the pavement?

I was carrying my hefty chain locked across my chest (ie - along the same line as my bag strap) when I got ran off the road.
Landed on it and broke 4 ribs (also bit clean through my lower lip and, curiously, tore tendons in my thumbs).

T'wasn't pretty.

Ambulance man who attended also said that he has lost a cyclist who was carrying a chain in such a way because they had to wait for the Fire Brigade to come and cut it off before they could treat the abdominal injuries.
Shit me up enough to put it in my bag now.
