Another one down ME.

[subaqua]

Yup asshat of a driver decided that he should be in the space I was and I shouldn't be overtaking another cyclist .

Wing mirror hit me as he turned left into me as a proper punishment pass and down I went.
Burdett Road , ironically to ride on the death trap that is Mile End road. !

I stayed down as leg was in agony . So a nice ride in ambulance to Royal London.

MTB got took back to work by some work colleagues .

Torn thigh muscles, shoulder ligament damage , and a bashed wrist.

No driving, no diving, no cycling and as little walking as possible for a few days . Screwed my weekend up .


I will be busy on phone to CTC solicitor tomorrow. Yes I have pics of me lying in the road. And a battered bike.

Bad luck subaqua, hope you're on the mend soon. Did the driver stop?

Take it easy for the next few days; painkillers will be your friend...

 

[screenman]

That does not sound comfortable, hope you soon mend.

 

[Mrs M]

Ouch.
GWS.
Hope you get some justice.

 

[summerdays]

Oh dear... Do you have his details? I hope you aren't in too much pain.

 

[Haitch]

Oof!
GWS.

Take it easy over the next few days. You'll know what to do.

The first on scene was a nice lady who asked for police and ambulance . Police attended and I have his details. He did ask me if I was ok , I responded with. " why did you drive into me " every time he asked as I was lying on the floor. well within earshot of the lovely PC who sat and Talked Lots Constantly as us first responders are taught to.


I also told him Allah wasn't going to be very happy with him.

 

[theclaud]

Ouch. Sorry to hear this. Mend soon.
