Tales from today's commute....

Just seen on FB that fossy has been knocked off his bike this morning and is on route to hospital, hope it's not too serious ​

Because you haven't been cycling very much at the weekends.

Could be but my core fitness comes from the commute so I'm ready for weekend.

Again? He's a careless fecker. It's got to be curtains for him this time, she won't let him out on the bike again.......

Hope you are ok Fossy, but more importantly, how is the bike

Great commute this morning (better than @fossyant s anyway) Managed to dodge the rain again and it felt surprisingly mild compared to the last couple of days. As I got home Lady Skol was already waiting on the drive with her car engine running and Jnr was getting his coat on and preparing to leave for school as I walked in the door. Ships that pass in the night.....
Jnr was chatting to me as he was leaving and not really paying attention to what he was doing. He went to grab my bike before he realised his mistake. Don't know how he couldn't spot the difference.......

for @ianrauk

and hope @fossyant is okay.

I've been in Manchester last couple of days so no commuting, but was back on the bike this morning, 45 lovely miles, very warm and hardly any wind, cracking ride

Hope fossyant is ok.
Took the big bike to work yesterday for the first time in ages. On the way home I got a puncture. Changed the tube and got on my way. Got most of the way home and the tyre went down again. Checked the tyre really carefully but couldn't find anything. Fortunately I carry two spare tubes. Got the second tube in and got home. COLD! There was a lovely moon - made the countryside part of my commute really nice. Ride was also slightly nervewracking because I realised that both my rear lights needed new batteries... (they were OK, just not as bright as I would like).

Anyway.. 12,000 miles for the year reached.....

Beautifully executed chap, well done

Hope the old guy is OK.

Dreary and damp with a headwind. Not much fun, so I imagined myself in a parallel universe and the time flew by...

got a lift to work yesterday as I was a bit achy from my off. Rode in this morning, bit slow but ok. Getting ready for pedestrian pinball on the way home

Hi guys. I'm not too good. No idea how bike is.

Got hit by someone turning right across my path. Fairly low speed bit I twisted my back and landed on it.

Drugged up to the eyeballs and flat on my back.

Unfortunately I've broken my back. T1 vertebrae has a chunk broken off. Had loads of scans and awaiting to hear if it's stable. If it is then bed rest and no moving. If not, it's surgery.

Oh, Fossy, that's not good at all. Hoping it's not as bad as it sounds.

Rest and heal up, mate.
