[ComedyPilot]

Sorry to hear this @vickster

GWS and loadsa hugs from me.....

 

[vickster]

Thanks everyone . Thankfully I have a bucketload of painkillers at my disposal due to the dodgy knee!

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

GWS and . Now look after yourself.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Bad news, @vickster. Hope the bruises go down quickly.

 

[wait4me]

A speedy recovery @vickster. Refreshing that although badly knocked about your attitude is down to earth and honest. Not like some who immediately look for someone else to blame.

Sorry to hear about your accident @vickster GWS

I have spoken to the driver, he is glad I am not too badly hurt and don't intent to claim against him. His son is going to sort my bike out when it suits. I might see what the shop has in the way of tights as mine had to be cut off. The nurses wouldn't let me try to take them off, for fear of pain and further damage to leg! Fortunately, they were some older gore ones and not some £300 assos jobbies

of course they were the £300 assos jobbies

Get well soon. I know the bruise is probably more than a dead leg but I used to find that riding the bike helped to keep it mobile.

Ouch, that sounds like quite a fright!

Hope you recover fully in time for your planned event/s.

Not wishing to scare anyone but...that's the bruise lump on my calf

I don't actually know what it hit!

GWS @vickster Hope the pain goes quickly for you.
May I say, I think you're being very much the "bigger person" with regards who was at fault.

I came off on the Selby Sportive, it was just a stupid slow fall on a gravely corner cut knee and arm and that's it. A couple of days later my chest started hurting in the rib area and I couldn't work out for the life of me what the hell had hit me there. The best I could work out is that the handle bar end had pinched me in the chest and either badly bruised or fractured a rib so I know what you mean it can be difficult to work out what hit you where.

Hoping you'll mend and be back on the
very soon

I I know what you mean it can be difficult to work out what hit you where.

Agreed.

I had a slow speed 'over the bars' on the Brommie - bruises cropped up all over the place.
