I got the wheel clamp when it went similar(pear shaped) for me.

You hit the next driver who hurts you, you'll be the one being done. Five minutes of "satisfaction" down the drain.

D'Accord.
Violence never solves anything, but constant legal nagging can move mountains, if gradually. Do the judge and the courts not monitor judgments and verdicts in the legal system in Britain?

Possibly, but as cyclists we're below pedestrians.

I just wanted to floor the driver, who t-boned me. His behaviour, at the time, was somewhat "erratic".

Getting the royal run around concerning my claim. Admiral saying they can't find my bank details - a week ON, Now issuing a cheque. Admiral and I bank with Lloyds, checked and Admiral can use Faster Payments between accountds

Leigh Day have been crap in the last year TBF, it's taken almost a year since my final medical to get the claim together (delays from specialist etc etc) and then Admiral wont negotiate. The stress has been horrible, and now they are messing about even more. That will be yet another week of interest they make on the money. Please don't ever get knocked off your bikes, the legal system is incredibly stressful. I'm just going to beat up the next driver who hurts me, then ride off - you don't get recompense.

I'll be glad when this is behind me.

Good luck with all that Fossy!

Once the 'cheque' (how last century) arrives, I'll have to take time off to bank the thing - even more time off from this injury.

Not happy and rather hissed off. We are gutter trash. Don't think Admiral Insurance will be too happy with any negative publicity.

The driver won't even know what damaged he's caused to me and my family, what justice is a few quid in my pocket ?

A bit daft this one.But i am looking forward to putting my Schwalbe Marathon Greenguard tyres on,they have such a fantastic tread on them,i was on Gatorskins with hardly any tread.Silly i know but they look fab.

Just had mine put on today funnily enough and looking good...... lets hope they perform likewise

Only two wheelie bins here. One with a green lid for green recycling and food waste (which can be wrapped in newspaper) and one with a blue lid for mixed recycling. General rubbish still a black bag collection, but I only put mine out once a month, and even then, it's barely half full. Most of that is cat food pouches.

My knee is well on the way to mending. The road rash is all but healed up, just a wee bit of bruising and swelling left - which itches infernally. Wouldn't want to cycle just yet, but other than that, getting back into the swing of things.

Sawed some felled trees into sections and moved them so they'll be easier to turn into logs, sawed up two heaped wheelbarrows of logs and wanged them in the garage and moved some green wood to where it can dry in the wind.

My wrist protector has arrived

 

[Andy in Germany]

Spooky! I am doing the same, and trying to throw out some things.

Woah...

here's hoping you get it all sorted soon.

 

[Gravity Aided]

@fossyant , all the best for you and yours, and I hope it all works out for the best.

Just settling down with a late night

I keep getting interrupted by a cat who is not impressed with the supper she was served.

Will head off to the Land of Nod shortly, via a halfway stop at Hot Bath.

Fantastic seeded brown loaf from M&S today, just the right amount of maltyness for me and a snip at £2.85
