Rider down , me :(

[simon.r]

FWIW some years ago I had a similar off on a MTB some years ago.

I was freewheeling down a gravel track when it was suddenly as if someone had stuck a large stick through my front wheel and I went over the bars. To this day I have no idea what happened. No damage to the bike, I revisited the site and found nothing untoward. A couple of broken fingers for me and a cracked helmet.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

One day you'll look back on it and laugh.

Ow, not a pretty sight! The injuries don't look too good either....

@cyberknight will know better but ....

He went over the handlebars because the front wheel locked up. Front wheel is now buckled. Front wheel would lock up if buckled .... no, it's really not clear. @cyberknight do you have any idea if you crashed because you front wheel buckled, or vice versa?

(continuing to wish you to GWS!)

No idea its all a bit of a blur

Hope you are on the mend @cyberknight I had an off like that when I lived in Edinburgh but fortunately I had a soft landing. I made the mistake of using an unlit cyclepath when suddenly I was thrown off the bike. Went back in the light to find the cycle path went round three sides of a small rectangular church garden and it had an ankle height chain around it. Increased my lighting after that

Two questions. Who is Frazier and where has he been?

Poor you, that's terrible luck

Take it easy and hope the recovery goes well and you're not hurting too much.
