Hit turning car while doing 30mph

GWS, certainly does not sound a nice experience. Take it easy and use the advice above.

Somebody will be along shortly to say it would not have happened if you were not wearing a helmet.

GWS ....and I hope you don't ache too much at the moment!

 

[Arrowfoot]

Glad you are ok. You are rather calm about the whole thing.

Sorry to hear the news Accy, hope you get well soon and can start riding again.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ouch! GWS
Hope the dislocated finger isn't the one you use for typing with?

 

[Simontm]

OUch. gws. And as I said elsewhere the bright side is bike shopping!

Doctor at the walk-in centre told me to wait for a week before assessing for more serious injuries. I'm sure that you are getting good medical advice from a professional, but I'd say don't worry about your aches and pains for a few days, unless they get worse.

 

[BrumJim]

Good to hear that you appear to have survived the incident well. Always good to get away with something that could have been a lot worse.

GWS

Glad you're ok. Best wishes for your recovery.

Thanks for all your kind words. I've just woken up with a very sore and stiff knee and finger. I suppose i'd better contact one of those personal injury solicitors today. I'm not after bigging it up but i'd like compensation for my bike and helmet, and i'm going to be off work(loss of earnings)till next week at the earliest.

Ouch! Glad you don't seem to be seriously hurt.

Heal well. Assume no BC or CTC membership? If not, you need to find a PI lawyer specialised in cycling injuries like http://www.cycle-claims.co.uk/

GWS Accy! Glad you're OK, at that speed it could have been a awful lot worse.

Oucherama - glad you are still here to tell us about it !

I hope you will be feeling much better soon and get a shiny new bike, helmet etc quickly.

At least the driver had the decency to stop and apologise. They should be sent for re-education in any event.
