If you add in getting knocked off - which fortunately my house insurance covered, that was a new frame, bar tape, clothing (not covered) front mech, etc - probably £500 in today's money !

Bloody expensive! Skull fracture and sub-dural haematoma. I still get dizziness and short-term whatsitsname loss.
The bad news is the injuries happened when cycling but OTOH recovery was helped by my being fit.
One day I might get some compensation but meanwhile I live on a small pension and interest from savings.

The most expensive crash I had was about 15 months ago. Totally wrecked the forks of the hack and the seat rails, the rest of the bike seemed OK the rest of the bike seemed OK but I replaced it anyway. I was pretty lucky; I was left with a small scar above my eye but no breakages other the mangled helmet. Its not a good idea to head butt the side window of a Taxi.

Ive, in my past: tried to eat a paveing stone (that done my teeth
though i do blame a woman who wasnt looking here she was going for that one) & tarmac..though I over-shot a corner once and tried to get intimate with a ford galaxy - that one winded me...and the bastard driver didnt even ask if I was ok even though i apologised for myself going too fast: ****er
