Facial injury: bruise development

[middleagecyclist]

A series of pics following my encounter with a pedestrian who stepped sideways out in front of me without giving any signal of his intention. Still waiting on dental work to be sorted.

Holy crap!, good luck with the recovery looks like its going okay

How does the pedestrian look... and is he paying for your dental work?!

That looks pretty rough mate. Glad you're slowly getting there. You been back on the bike yet?
I mentioned it before on another thread, but peds are the Bain of my life down here in London. I can't count how many times I've had to swerve out into the road to avoid one. A lot of parents with buggies just start to cross the road by pushing their buggy out first in front of them without looking. It's a jungle out there mate!
I really hope you're back to full fitness soon.

No idea. Only saw his back after he stepped out and then have no memory until i was being put in the ambulance. He hasn't been in touch though. Contacted CTC yesterday for advice. Bike and dental work likely to cost circa £1000.00

I watch them closely but this one did something new. Not actually on the kerb looking to cross but back to the oncoming traffic and stepping out sideways onto the road without once looking!

Ooofff £1000 !!!!

That's rough. GWS.

 

[Crackle]

I have a similar one somewhere after I cracked my skull, though of course I'm much more handsome

Nasty. Hope you get compensated for that.
