Man down

[biking_fox]

My turn to rely on the kindliness of strangers.

I hit a roadsign face down in the cycle lane last night. Never saw it, heard something, hit the road. Straight over bars I think, presumably one of the legs got between something it shouldn't.. Shaken and leaking a bit, a few much appreciated Samaritans cleaned me up and stayed around until I was fit to carry on.

Bike's ok (enough to ride home, haven't checked thoroughly yet). I've got a couple of deep cuts and battered face feeling sorry for myself and a bit daft. Off work today and then the rest of the week anyway. Put a bit of a damper on xmas preparations.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

 

[tyred]

Ouch! Wishing you a swift recovery.

 

[fossyant]

Oof - on the Floop ? Hope you are OK, and make sure you are "OK" as A&E won't be any help when the strikes are on.
Heal fast.

some folks will do owt to have extra time off

GWS !

Ouch, that sounds painful.

Glad you're not too badly hurt. No doubt you feel worse today than yesterday!

As noted above the NHS is overstretched at present, but if you do feel something is amiss get yourself down to a walk-in centre to get checked out. Better safe than sorry.

Then get yourself the seasonal pain relief of your choice.

Wow

Get well soon - at least it doesn't sound like anything serious is broken

oh - including bones I should add

Hope your Christmas is still OK - I believe there is a section of Tesco that sells products that can help out
although their 25% off 6 bottles has stopped now!

Sorry to hear this

 

[theloafer]

ouch.... GWS

 

[Dogtrousers]

Rest up, GWS

 

[Arjimlad]

Aw no, those signs can be a menace. Hope you feel better soon and the bike is OK.

 

[slowmotion]

Oh dear. I hope you get well quickly.

 

[BoldonLad]

The lengths some people will go to avoid helping with the Christmas preparations

Get well soon

Best wishes and get well soon!

I'm not sure I understand the description though - had a temporary sign fallen down and that got tangled? Or was there a permanent roadsign which partially blocks the cycle lane and you went into it?

 

[Randomnerd]

We've all done it!








Well, no. We haven't.



Here's hoping you mend soon, in any case. Best wishes.
