[Trickedem]

GWS. And don't take no for an answer from the police if they say that won't investigate

Had the initial assessment, now just waiting to be x-ray'd

 

[raleighnut]

Ouch, hope it isn't too serious.

 

[Mrs M]

Ouch ya.
Hope you make a good recovery.
Best wishes x

Anything?

I'm pleased you're not too broken, get well soon, and report the scumbag to the police.

 

[RoubaixCube]

Alright, Im back home. X-Rays came out clear no fractures or broken bones. No nerve damage to speak of, joints are absolutely fine. All it is, is soft tissue damage from the impact of the fall. been given a wrist brace to stop my wrist moving around too much and causing a lot of pain which will happen tomorrow when i wake up due to the swelling.

Should i head out to the police now to fill out the paper work or should i rest and wait till tomorrow? police station is 5-10mins down the road from where i live

 

[Mrs M]

I'd rest up and sleep on it for now.
Good to hear no broken bones or nerve damage

Had a bit of a joke with the nurse who was attending to me...

"Do you want me to clean up your grazes"
"Nah, I can do that at home with TCP.......on second thoughts sure why not?? I pay my taxes, I might as well get cleaned up!"

Im glad im in one peice. I havent had a serious look a the bike yet but i'll do that now while having a cup of tea. I think the mudguards got a little bent up and we rubbing on the wheels hence why i couldnt ride it home. I dont think the damage to the bike was that serious and shouldnt cost a lot to fix (fingers crossed)

Glad you're okay, but leave the bike for now.

As mentioned by others get what you have on paper. That'll keep you occupied for a bit.

Hope tomorrow is a better day for you, may hurt a bit more ,

 

[Milkfloat]

Important question.........

Did it resolve the issue you were having with your brake?

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Glad nothing is broken @RoubaixCube, gws.
Horrible people, not stopping for an injured person.

You'll most likely feel worse tomorrow than you do today, so have painkillers at the ready.

I'd not expect too much of the Met, I'm afraid. Probably best not to make the footage publicly available at the moment. If you do, password protect it and send it only to people whose judgement you trust.

Drivers who flee the scene when someone is injured should get a custodial sentence.

Heal up soon.
