Another Off!

[andyfraser]

That definitely looks painful. Get well soon.

Your conversations reminded me of a similar one I had a couple of years ago. I came off on the cycle path about 20 feet in front of woman who was walking along.
Her: Are you alright?
Me: Yes. I wasn't going fast.
Her: Good job you had a helmet on!
Me: I didn't hit my head though!

I had the same litany from a compo solicitor when a pothole caused a big pile up on a club run.

"But it was my hip ............ "

GWS !

Oh dear! Oil spills are a bit hard to guard against, but what caused the other 2 offs?

Speaking of oil spills ... I heard of one rider who went on a Costa Blanca training camp and was doing a fast descent on the first day of his holiday when he came to a bend where the road surface was liberally coated by an olive oil spill. He ended up spending his holiday in hospital!

PS Cheer up! Why the glum face?

2013 - doored by HGV driver @ 20 mph. Back injury month off bike and work.
2014 - descending fast round a right hand bend to find stationary car parked across both lanes; assumed he was doing 3 pt turn in stupid place. Missed them but hit parked vehicle. Back injury and broken ankle; 3 nights in hospital. 3 months off bike and work.

Threads like this make me glad I'm a slow cyclist.

GWS, at least it wasn't your new carbon bike that's on order!

 

[uclown2002]

Indeed!!

 

[vickster]

You may want to do bike ability and slow down a bit

And you might get some interesting proposals.

Ouch!
Please get your checked out for anything broken - because of the speed you hit the tarmac.
Get well soon.
