Those "early miles" ....

[DCLane]

At least that's positive @biggs682 - hope you recover quickly

More importantly: how's the bike?

I think it will be fine but to be honest least of worries , just a shame it was my recently acquired Cannondale

Liquid pain killer and a comfy sofa

Sounds good

First cuppa went down well
Been a bad start to the day nearing the end of my early am ride I got knocked off the bike on a roundabout , ambulance and police called along with my partner.
Bleeding from back of head stiff from waist downwards.
Now at kgh just had X ray on pelvis/hip area. Head is bandaged awaiting inspection.
Could be a lot worse .
Bike looked ok but unsure till checked over .
Thankfully driver stopped till emergency services arrived and took over
Have a good day xx

Hopefully you and your bike are both okay.

Ouch! Mend quickly @biggs682

Healing vibes from me, and the girls are sending some special purrs.

And hope the bike is OK too... Bummer that it's the new acquisition.

I think you best talk to a solicitor.

In the meantime, makes notes of everything (you will be surprised what you forget very quickly) and keep receipts for for any expenditure.

Your household insurance might have legal expenses cover suitable for such a claim.

document additional symptoms that might show up, such as persistent headaches

Are you in CTC or British Cycling Many moons ago I was hit by a car Bike written off .Broken arm and noseNine stitches in a head wound.Smashed watch and various other odds and ends!British Cycling Federation as it was back the then dealt with everything
They phoned me to say the drivers insurance had offered £ 500 which I thought wasn’t bad Person who rang me said no where near enough Booked me in to see a specialist to examine me and write a report which I never saw Outcome offer upped to £1000 which wasn’t bad considering how much cheaper frames etc were so much cheaper Replaced the bog standard Dawes with a Carlton 531c frame spent around around about £700 .

Would have been about early 1970 Stayed a member of British Cycling ever since Worth it for the third party insurance.

Hope your back on the bike soon.

Not sure about this but there used to be one or two in the cycling press who deal in cycling related claims on a now win no fee basis
