Forum Rider Down and/or notification of minor incidents

They put my wrist in a splint due to the fracture I had before and need to go back for another xray. Calf is starting to hurt which I can oly assume is the car impact.

Going docs soon as taxi (missus) arrives apparently got to have everything checked again

Shit news, hope it's nothing major!

Which bone did you break in your wrist last time?

Scaphoid

OH POOTS. Sadface. How are you doing now?

Shoulder still giving me jip/not able to move arm comfortably into a bike riding position. Sad face indeed :(

Could be worse etc etc.

Scaphoid

Oh dear, sorry to hear that. Such a bastard bone, fingers crossed it isn't the same again.

fingers crossed

ha

Ha cheers

ha

I can confirm from previous experience that breaking ones scaphoid does not inhibit finger dexterity. Hallelujah

Flicking bogies is strictly off

Back from docs with co-codamol and muscle soreness no whiplash as EVERYONE wants me to have but sod that I just want my bike repaired/replaced and travel costs re-imbursed.

There's a good chance you'll be needing all the proof and evidence you can get - does Jet have CCTV? It could well get wiped often so need to move fast

Heal quick

Scaphoid = worst bone ever. Except possibly those weird ones in the ear.

I spoke to them later when the manager was back and he called me back saying he can just make it out and has burned it to disk to wait for a requisition by police or solicitor. I know I can ask for it but I'll leave Levenes to it.

Good - should help your case

Bloody typical. The day after I do up my bar tape all nice some chump steps out in front of me wiping us both out and scuffs it all up.
Every time.

I had taken off my Turbo to sell it then busted it and probably the post too

So annoying right?

Bikes been written off.

Gutted.

Fuck. That's shit news on top of the injury, sorry to hear that.

Worse thing is the quote to replace is 180 quid

Setting out for my thursday hour and a half of power, got hit by a car.
Classic. Taco'd wheel. Nothing else to report.
Annoyed by not training more than being hit.

What happened? Good you're not hurt.

I'll draw it. Give me a second:

Basically, cycling along at a decent pace, but not too fast, as was filtering. Then I assume the lorry was like "Flash" come on out, and she did and drove straight into me.
Bruises I think. Some cuts. Relatively big dent in car.
Think bike is fine... (hope bike is fine)

Pretty standard crash, tbh.

Well done on including the poo. And as you say, a pretty standard regents type of crash.

So what happened afterwards, did you throw the poo at the driver and demand unmarked bills?

Well I gave her a hug. She was in a little bit of shock.
