Went out a week Sunday morning trying to get the tubeless tyres to seal on my new Sirrus I brought, I was riding on a cycle path when I took my eyes off for a second & bang I was slammed hard on the path .
i remember my head hitting the tarmac hard, lucky I had my helmet on & a wet elbow.
while lying on the ground I looked back to see what i hit & it was a bloody brick 😡 .
I managed to get up & walked over to some railings where a couple who had seen me come off had stopped & the next thing I know is I’ve blacked out lying on the floor again.
They rang a ambulance but it was going to be over an hr before they could get out, so I called the wife to take me up to A&E which was only half a mile away & lucky for me was empty hence the times we are in.
The staff were great even though I felt guilty going in at this time, ct scans reviled my head was ok but I had a nasty hole in my elbow which they wanted me to have surgery on .
9pm they let me out so a big thanks to the NHS👍, having stitches out Monday but I have been missing going out with all this sunshine & quiet roads.
The wife isn’t to keen on me going out until the virus situation is over😢 but I will try, the bike faired quite well considering just bar ends & a scratch on derailleur the rest I have straitened out .
Stay safe out there peoples.
