Oh dear ... hope the surgery works - any idea how the bike faired? - what did they do with the bike at the scene of the accident?

Get well soon .....

Ouch!

I'm really sorry to hear that mark. I hope you recover soon (and that the bike is ok).

From my experiences with them over the years (I grew up in Kimberworth) Rotherham General are pretty good so hopefully they will get you sorted out soon enough, and if you do have to have a replacement (I hope you don't) then they are a lot more durable now than when my uncle got one 12 years ago.

Out of interest, where were you when you came off? There are lots of hills around your end so I can imagine you could have been doing quite a speed.

I broke mine following a fall when I was out riding in early Oct. By late Nov, I was on the turbo and hit the roads at the start of Jan. It is still a bit stiff and I can feel it first thing the morning. But, the exercise helps and I have checked my programme with the surgeon.

Good luck to you, the repair will come, but it is a slow process and demands some patience. Watch the crutches in the wet on shiny floors. On the upside, you did not break it during perfect cycling weather, so you can have a good excuse for not battling with the cold, the snow and the rain.

Hope you make a good recovery Mark. 3 wheels are definitely safer on ice. I'm a similar age to you and I definitely reign back these days after coming off my Giro in the wet last year.

You're not having a lot of luck on your bikes/trikes as I've just seen your post about the broken spokes on the trike.

Get well soon.

Luck .........

Sorry Roger, must have missed this...hope your recovery is going ok, we all need to be fit for another meet!

ow! sorry to hear that! Shows how easy it is to break something even at low speed, and it's why I'm very cagey about riding in icy conditions on two wheels.

Get well soon!
