Down Again

[John the Monkey]

Hit towards the back of the bike (on the rear wheel, I think) by a vehicle entering a roundabout that misjudged my speed (I was leaving it, but hadn't left by the time the colliding vehicle entered).

Lucky not to be broadsided, I guess, and that the colliding vehicle and a witness in a separate car stopped to give details. Bike is currently unrideable[1], but I don't think that matters as my elbow, hip and hand feel like someone took a hammer to them. CTC's legal folk have the details, and we'll see how things turn out, I suppose.

[1] Buckled rear wheel at the least - bike shop is having a look at it to check nothing more serious is wrong.

Be careful out there folks.

Oooh shame John. I hope your injuries aren't serious.

 

[ajc]

Ouch ! Hope things aren't too serious for you and your bike.

 

[John the Monkey]

Oooh shame John. I hope your injuries aren't serious.

Sorry, should have said, nothing broken[1], although I feel sorer (if that's a word) than when the bus knocked me off back in August.

[1] Confirmed by the good folk at A&E

Buckled wheel not buckled will JtM- best wishes for a (safe)speedy recovery.

Unlucky John, that's really bad news. I must admit that after my recent collision I have decided to give commuting a bit of a rest as I have just moved offices and no longer have easy access to showers etc. so am using that as an excuse!

There seem to have been so many incidents on the roads lately!

 

[Crackle]

Hope it's just the wheel and hope the bruising goes down quick.

Hope you're ok John. Hot bath and a whiskey is in order I think

[Mr Phoebus]

Unfortunate but fortunate. Scary stuff.

 

[fossyant]

Bugger - where was that then.......... ?

Glad you are OK (ish) and all concerned were reasonable.......... get a new set of wheels........insist on it as nothing worse than odd ones......

Very sorry to hear about that mate. I hope you recover quickly and the CTC get on the case.

There do seem to have been a lot of accidents lately. Lets hope this is the end of the run.
