Hey V.
Glad you bounced.
We need your voice of reason on this forum.
I trust you will be back in the road in time for the first rays of the spring sunshine

Glad you're not more seriously hurt, Vickster. Heal up quick.

It sounds like the driver did not give you sufficient passing room. I'm assuming he came from behind (move on Fnaar, nothing to see here), if you were ahead of him in the ASL zone - but on that stretch of CS7, with narrow lanes, cop-out cycle infrastructure and multiple junctions, it's often a shambolic free-for-all.

Why is it that everything hurts more 24-48 hours of the event? Why can't that lovely adrenalin stick around longer! I've got some more beautiful bruises on my elbow and upper arm. Crook of arm is sore too where I appear have reacted to the cannula used to leech

 

[Easytigers]

Also late to this but hope you make a very speedy recovery and are back on the bike soon!

Go have some chocolate!

@vickster Gosh....only just read this. So sorry to hear about your bad off and hope the pain subsides soon and you start to feel a bit better.

 

[DooDah]

Bummer that, hope all heals well and quick.

GWS Vickster. Keep us all posted on how you are getting on.

My mum reckons I should take legal advice at least. According to the BC site, I have 12 months to start proceedings, so my inclination is to get the bike fixed and see how my injuries heal. Also wait for the outcome of the full police investigation
