Well today I have joined the elite few. On my ride into work this morning i was knocked off my bike by white van man cant totally remember how it happened but was going round a big roundabout and he didn't stop and smacked into the side of me. I fell and at first only seemed to have a couple of cuts but soon the pain started so went to hospital and i have a fractured radial head (broken elbow) bike is in a pretty bad state and I'm not sure if i will be doing the London to southend now lol.

Must say i don't fancy doing that again in a hurry

oh, crap. that's nasty. Did you get the drivers details and informed the police? Was it hit and run?

Anyway, hope it's not too painful for too long....

Unlucky there, ELL. Get well soon. Same thing happened to me a while back and fractured my wrist.

I broke my elbow ice skating - it bloody hurts.

All the best for a quick recovery.

It hurts enough when you just bang it on a door!

Glad to hear it's all reported properly anyway, should help with insurance to get your bike fixed up.

Get well soon - I broke my elbow in Feb, first week or two are the worst as you suddenly realise quite how much you use your arm.

nasty, get well soon. I am still carrying a chipped/fractured elbow from the Isle of Wight, it's fine until you lean on it.... OUCH! :biggrin:
