Gaz down in Mcr - part 3

[straas]

Had to go out in the rain today, and the canal towpath was closed between sale and stretford as they're pulling a core from the bridge. So had to hit washway road.

Not fun in the rain when you're trying out two panniers for the first time!

Ouch!! I was worried then for a minute but sounds like the bike is OK

Fell off the other week in Wythenshawe Park, was doing a U-turn and the back wheel went on me, only thing damaged was my pride, not funny falling off at 2mph when you're meant to be helping a novice cyclist learn to ride

Think I'm turning into a crash test dummy & it's your fault lol

Checked my garmin - 10mph I was doing , but there was , without question oil on the surface

I'm sure I'll get told to get it checked by a medic but my hip has swollen up quite a bit since this morning , looking at the pic, can anyone offer advice ? I assume as I cycled 7 miles home then it ain't broke but it's really swollen

Edit : Was it oil or was it this that caused the spill

Hip

ICE, but a bit late for that. Get some of that cream I mentioned. Oh and MTFU

 

[gb155]

I have some bum cream mate :-)

This is the hip that is the dodgy one after last years accident

It says its closed but its passable, I managed this morning with no problems :-)

I assume it's a bit like an egg the swelling - just watch it. You'd know if you broke something.

Gaz, what is in the background?

Gaz, what is in the background?

My thoughts exactly!! That's way too much pink for my taste.

 

[ianrauk]

Managed to get patched up

Pretty darn sore am gonna be riding with anger tonight to knockout the pain :-)

Lol.. I like yer style Gaz....

In all seriousness, take it easy fella. You gotta give your body some time to heal.

I had my first off today too due to the bike sliding away in a puddle. Thanks to the staff of Kennington job centre for coming to my aid with first Aid and offers of tea. My leg really hurts and a helluva bruise is forming on my thigh. Wheel buckled, bar tape screwed brake lever bent. At least I met a friend who to me in for a cup of tea where my broken bike now sits.

Hip

Man, that's one big shaved bollock.

 

[Davidc]

Sympathies. It hurts. Had a bruised hip a couple of years back (I was walking and fell over). I made the mistake of not doing as the doctor said and using it again, hard, too soon. best to let the bruised bone heal like you'll be told to.

(And I bet you'll take as much notice of that as I would!!!)
