Cyclist down: SMIDSY Cornwall, me :(

[helston90]

Happily cycling to work today 2 cars patiently waited to come around parked cars towards me, unfortunately car number 3 decided to turn off to his right and cut right across my path: no where for me to go.

Scrubbed off as much speed as possible but locked up in greasy wetness and smack!

Ambulance to A&E and I've broken my shoulder in two places.

Seeing a specialist on Monday but advised probably pinning it on Wed.

Thoroughly annoyed but could have been a lot worse. Very helpful bunch of people stopped to help and driver apologised many times.

Fairly similar to me, a right turning impatient idiot hit me.

Hope the bike is ok.

PS are you still a guest at the hospital ?

Bad news H90, I hope the pain is not too bad and that the operation will be fairly quick but it seems to be a long time to wait for the pinning to take place. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not seen bike yet, it is being looked after by the shop outside which it happened.

Police came and took a statement whilst I was in A&E.

Nah I'm back home crashed out on sofa surrounded by cushions.

I had a CT scan due to the uniqueness of the break (huraah) so delay is seeing the right consultant on Monday I'm guessing.

CT gets better details. I got MRI as well as I'd made a bit of a mess of myself.

Hope you can get comfy. At least you aren't a resident of said mad houses.

sorry to hear that

 

[The Brewer]

Ouch! GWS

 

[mjr]

GWS. Let us know how the bike is once you know

Are the police going to do anything? Do you have GPS or camera?

 

[screenman]

That just sounds horrible, hope you bounce back soon.

Thinking about it that might not have been the right term to use, so recover rapidly.

Get well soon, I so don't like reading such news

driver apologised many times.

Yeah, well, he/she is not the one having to suffer because he/she could not wait half a minute more to let you pass
