Hello all, I spent Friday evening and night in the JR a+e, the reason for this, a kind young man gave me a nice T bone FOR FREE.
he came out of a side road to my left, lucky for me I was doing about 15 mph, he came out like a rocket and hit the bike on the rear set and pannier rack, now barns Wallace would be proud as I done my best bouncing bomb bit down the road.
out come of my night, need new rear set inc bracket, pannier rack bent, heed crash bars scraped and bent, but done a very good job [will buy again] only damage to the front of the bike was a bent bar end, as for me, acute ankle sprain, this would have snapped if not for my bike boots[please put you gear on blokes] lost skin on my left shin, knee and hip, badly bruised left chest, bruised kidney [blood in piss] bruised pancreas, bruised abdomen, all found after x rays and MIR scan, now the NHS staff are treated like sh1t by the government but, they were fantastic to me.
a slow speed hit done this, so put your gear on blokes, I had just gone down town [witney] a 2 mile ride each way and got hit 1 mile from home.
PS, did you know that the Oxfords paramedics get paid £11 per hour for doing what they do, over paid or what
cheers blokes
