Thanks.

Interested to know what state my bike is in, I haven't been able to pick it up yet; hopefully it's okay. I still don't really know what happened, guess I went over the handlebars.

I'm another one who doesnt like having headphones in while riding. I like to hear what's coming up behind me.

Tried it once when i was a know all teenager frightened the life out of me

Bad news Peter, I hope you heal quickly and without a lot of pain.

For everyone that is mainly relying on sound as a warning while you ride you may want to seriously consider one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Third-Eye-Lens-Rear-View-Mirror-New-/400354983823?_trksid=p3284.m263&_trkparms=algo=SIC&its=I&itu=UCI%2BIA%2BUA%2BFICS%2BUFI&otn=21&pmod=310516016555&ps=54
I hope that long length URL will post.

I don't ride without one, it is very small, takes a little time to adjust properly but if I don't have one I don't ride. I have one on four different pair of glasses. I know I sound like an ad for them but I am not, these work that well, they just do not work on really tight swept glasses and ones with thick arms. If I had a pair of glasses that they would not work with. I would get new glasses. These work that well. If safety is a primary concern you owe it to yourself to try one.

I just noticed the shipping on them...ouch. I guess they come from the US. I would still get one to try.

That sounds bad - how long you off for?

 

[Phoenix Lincs]

I cycled from maidstone to Gatwick today no strava as I was using my phone as a sat nav. I'm staying here in a hotel tonight and doing a ride with my uncle from Bermuda tomorrow around Regiate and box hill etc. Hopefully this nice weather is here to stay I hope everyone else is having a good weekend

Doing a ride from Bermuda? Wow. . Only kidding.

I look forward to hearing about your ride today. I did some hill reps in the middle of a 40 miler yesterday. Nearly killed me for my return journey. Boy, was I knackered!

Ps. We didn't have nice weather yesterday . Cloudy and quite cold out. Hope the sun comes out today.

Take care and enjoy

Ouch. Get well soon. Hope the bike is ok, but your own recovery is more important IMO

Get well soon. It's strange since I come off the other day a few others have. Let's hope your the last!
