After surviving last weeks weather I bolted the spd's back on and set off for work...at about 75% journey completion I heard a car coming up behind..instead of backing off he/she decided to try and overtake me on a corner..predictably a car came towards us and said nob behind hit the brakes on the ice and wiped me out...then proceeded to drive off rapidly...I picked myself up and luckily the fast corner I was standing in the middle of was approached by a more considerate driver who stopped to help. So now I'm home after dressing from the doctor for my knee and a tetnis shot I proceeded to Norwich a + e to then be told I have a crack In my wrist and swollen elbow. I use my hands for work and am now in a bit of pain with limited movement in my wrist!
Hit and runners are scum and I wish I had of caught their number plate. It's a road for a few regular comuters so it's only a matter of time.
Also the state of the road is appauling..between attleborough and besthorpe and has never seen a gritter so it was only a matter of time before someone got hurt.
On the plus my cleats released perfectly and let the bike get away from me..bike Is ok thankfully although my favourite cycling trousers are wrecked.
Just slow down..it could have bee a damn site worse.

I made the stupid mistake of letting her go however, after I checked things, a few weeks later my garmin geko stopped working; it may have just been a coincidence but I don't think the brush with the deck helped.
