Last week went out for a early morning ride at 06.00. Beautiful morning clear blue sky with a very low sun. As the sun was so low it was in my eyes. On a route I had ridden often I was going from inroad cycle path to pavement cycle lane. Because the sun was in my eyes I missed the lowered kerb and hit the raised kerb! Seconds later I was on the ground. Feeling a bit sore I thought I’d just loosen up a bit and ride home. After 20 minutes I realised I could not ride.
Had to phone my wife for a lift home. As soon as she saw me she insisted that she would take me to A&E. Result was X-ray lot of pain and a fractured pelvis. That was basically my only injury. When I checked my helmet later I found a crack in the side yet I didn’t even realise that I had hit my head! Certainly saved me from a sore head. Don’t think I’ll be riding for a while.
