The little things suddenly become very difficult

BTW Why you cycle so fast in commuter traffic Lukie boy? 'Phone munching plebs dawdling across your path not paying attention aren't going to be in good shape after you roll over their toes are they?

It was on South Africa road, just by the Qpr stadium. It's a nice road which hardly ever has queues of traffic, even on match day and very few peds. the road surface is also very good, so is one of the few roads I get to really stretch my legs on.

The problem was being in the middle of the lane as i was overtaking another cyclists and then the sudden appearance of a pavement cyclists

You don't need two good arms to ride a 'bent, I've learned.

mmmm fixed gear (ie only one brake) 'bent could be the way to go

Luke, beware of "chaffing". It was a problem for me when I broke both of my arms, at the same time...

Mate. That sucks. Really sorry to hear it.

typing posts on CC with your weaker hand, so excuse any poor grammer and spelling.

Your right hand spells better than your left?

That's a good point, that thing is like a chainsaw

It is a little bit on the loud side isn't it?

bad luck Luke, GWS eh?

I did both wrists at the same time, luckily I was living at home at the time or I'd have been a bit stumped.

I never rode into any bricks ever again. Yet.

Nasty - busted a bone in my hand (van driver left hooked me and I did a superman impression - bike written off)

Was in a cast for a couple of weeks - managed to get on the turbo trainer though, then it was taken off. Was very weak for a while.

PS get the plaster off as quick as they will allow - the plaster draws all the moisture out of your hand, for me it was between thumb and finger - manky hand after 2 weeks, and 'turbo training' didn't help - sweat...ergh.........

I remember breaking my right wrist when I was at college. I became temporarily ambidextrous, but only for certain activities....

Like opening beer bottles and tins of spagetti hoops I imagine?

Bad luck Luke! Hope you're on the mend soon...
At least the Bianchi's ok

Um, yes, yes that was it.

Bit of a bugger if you need both, but needs must...
