First big crash

[slowmotion]

Lorks! Get well soon Chrisc.

I forgot that I also crashed on Monks Road. Going uphill

I was so slow on the really steep bit that my front wheel touched the kerb and over I went in the middle of the road, still attached to the pedals.

Despite it being local it isn't popular with Glossop cyclists. Too hard going up and, as OP has unfortunately found, too dangerous going down

Well I've seen the consultant and it's more of the same. Back in 4 weeks to check progress. Meantime just resting and waiting.

It's not popular at all. It's just orrible. You've got to try Gorsey Brow in Broadbottom - that has a handrail !

GWS, hopefully it won't put you off!

Accidents happen in all areas of life, get back on the bike as soon as you can.

PS. I could have been worse, that's always my motto.

So which idiot put the tarmac on that and how did they stop it sliding off? :-)

ouch!
looks nasty, if you don't mind me asking how did you get all the shots of your scans etc?
if my missus let people see their own scans she's lose her job in a heartbeat.

I asked the doctor for them. Got 2 cd's with ultrasound, xrays and ct scans on. Is this not usual then? Found free software for viewing the dicom files on a mac.

It's usual with private hospitals I have my old knee MRIs, had an X ray too but the disc corrupted

I've just seen this.
Very nasty - I hope you heal well and speedily!

Thank you! Am improving day by day now, small steps but can feel things settling back down.
Apparently my collarbone is a "lovely shape" for healing. :-)

Oh, good to hear! Take it easy...lots of beer tea and cake

You know I haven't touched a drop since the accident. The pills say no beer but that doesn't usually make any difference. :-)
I musta been more shaken than I realised! Nurse! Beer!

Ooooh don't drink if the meds say not to.
Stick to tea and cake
