Show us your.......newbie progress! [4 Sep 2012 - 4 Oct 2014]

[Nigelnaturist]

I have just lost weight as a by-product of cycling, it's not what I set out to do.
Rocky just get another sensor, just make sure the comp knows which bike your on.

I had a massive off on the commute home! A pedestrian decided to cross the road on a blind corner without looking and I ended up colliding with him and bouncing down the road not sure what states the bikes in or how to get him to pay for the damage he's done to the bike and me

 

[lavoisier]

Hope you're OK and it's not as bad as it looks. Can't help about the claim, did you get his details and how is he?

 

[boybiker]

The police took all his details which I now have. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital so have no idea how he is and tbh couldn't care less. Undoubtedly I will end up fotting the 1500 quid bill for the bike, clothing and accessories which are broken. I'm absolutely fuming and have no way of getting to work when I'm better now

 

[RWright]

Wow, glad you are ok enough to type, that looks serious, I guess it was in the ambulance and they had your neck restrained. I hope you recover quickly and your bike just had minor damage. How bad are you hurt?

Oh no! Hope you're not too battered and bruised. Are you a member of British Cycling? They may be able to help you.

Hope both you and the bike will be ok (oh and the pedestrian too)

 

[Phoenix Lincs]

Sorry, I missed the comments below your original one.

Get well soon x

Sorry to hear about your accident boybiker. Hope you and your bike are ok.

Amazing how tunnel visioned some people are when walking about.

 

[MaxInc]

Oh man, this isn't the kind of news you want to read anywhere Hope you're not hurting too bad and have a quick recovery.

Hope you're ok and make a speedy recovery!

Hope your ok Elliot,
Does your own insurance not cover it as a last resort.

So sorry to read about your off. I know it's easier said than done, but try and forget about the bike for the moment and just concentrate on recovering. Bikes are replaceable......you are not. In saying that, I know when you are better you will want to get back out again as soon as possible so I hope you can get him to stump up one way or another.

Take care. xxx

Hope you are feeling at least a bit better today, get well soon.

 

[boybiker]

Yeah I'm not too bad the scans were not conclusive on my neck so they had to do them a couple of times and consult a few specialists but luckily it's just bad bruising no fractures or breaks :-)

Feeling pretty sore today and have cracked a tooth so got to book a dentist appointment to get that sorted. The rest is just cuts, grazes and bruising.

I'm going to try and get the bike shop to look at the bike as I looked at it this morning and at a quick glance looks surprisingly okay . I just would have thought the impact would of done more damage I would have thought at best it would just be a new front wheel.

I'm going to ring the guy today and see how he is and try and come to a reasonable agreement. Hopefully he will be reasonable and pay the money for the repairs and my damaged clothing etc . Even if it takes him a few months. I would prefer to do that than go the legal route.
