Hope it's not too painful ... bruises take ages to go away ...
Ice tyres rock , was very glad I had mine today ..
+10 C predicted overnight

I'm back on the ice bike tomorrow @Telemark need to leave the house before 6am, probably there will be ice
Had to give the ice bike a clean tonight and change the rear brake pads. I thought the temperature was positively milder, bah!
Got a nice bit of road rash on my right arm, just as well I was wearing double layers.
I'm away to take the plaster off

 

[Telemark]

ouuuuuuuuuch!
Glad you are not too badly hurt! Forgot to ask ... is the bike OK? Which one was it?

Got a big bruise on my right arm, another one on my right leg, swollen too, strange because it's not sore or cut.
The bike was Mr. Doubtfire, 3 stone paper-bike, she is indestructible!
Not even a dent, actually, the squealy brakes have self healed after the crash

GWS Pat!

I don't feel so bad about the names I've given my bikes now that I know yours is called Mr. Doubtfire

 

[Telemark]

@Pat "5mph" Glad Mrs D is OK - but I don't think crashing is a recommended way of fixing squeaky breaks!

Fell off the bloody bike today
A few yards away from home, it was icy, and I wasn't on the ice bike, stupid me ... auch!
Then on the commute home, a car almost collided with me, he wasn't going to stop at the give way, the silly sod ... harumph!

Arghhh! Sorry to hear you've had an off, Pat. GWS . It's to be milder tomorrow morning but only briefly; back to on Friday, so get those Schwalbe ice tyres back on!

They are on a bike all winter, just thought it was too mild for ice this morning.
Oh well, serves me right for being complacent

Sounds like one of those days. I hope the bruises heal soon.

If nothing else it shows how worthwhile ice tyres are.

Ouch ! @Pat "5mph"
Crazy weather can't make up its mind whether it wants to be spring or winter , or - but it's always

GWS any photies of the bruises ?

 

[Fubar]

Embra people, have you heard about Andy, the storytelling cycle tour leader?
http://www.storybikes.co.uk/
I assisted on a few of his tours for the Glasgow cycle festival last year.
Andy died recently on his bike, while riding to a friend's funeral, not a crash, a heart attack I was told.
Very sad, he was only 60. His web page and facebook are still up.
