Not really forum rider down, but forum rider in collision where other riders went down.
I slowed down to stop to let a van turn right into a side road as there was a car already giving way on CS7 this morning, and a girl on a road bike smashed into me from behind. I think I must have done a Cav-style shoulder punt as I was completely unaffected while she came off, also knocking down a second girl on another road bike like a skittle who was in the process of undertaking me on the other side.
Both girls have been packed off to hospital in an ambulance in tears, one with a dislocated shoulder that looked and sounded extremely painful. Ho hum. Feel pretty shitty about the whole affair and need to examine my riding style a bit more.
