Terrible news. I hope she heals quickly and that the doctor doesn't catch the evasionary lying virus.We was out doing our normal Thursday evening ride, Four of us set of upon reaching a roundabout two of the guys got through with no problem, Meanwhile Debi (my wife) and myself waited for the traffic to clear before proceeding, Half way across the roundabout a 4x4 pulls onto the roundabout without looking, Hits Deb from behind send her sprawling to the ground, We were lit up light Christmas tree's. FFS. Phoned a ambulance was told it was going to be 45 minutes, I phoned my son who came to pick up the bikes, In the meantime the driver had rung her son who came to the scene, he offered to take us to the hospital, as Deb was in a lot of pain we excepted the lift, It turns out she has a badly broken little finger. Spent 4 hours at the hospital was told we had to go to the Royal free Friday morning, Spent another 4 hours there then was told to come back on Monday so they can operate on it, they are talking about pinning it together. The police managed to track us down at the hospital where we both gave statements, The police then said they where going to interview the driver. Today i contacted the police got a crime number, also contacted British cycling who got there solicitor to ring us, which they did within the hour, Tomorrow morning i am tacking the bike to the LBS where they are going to check out the frame, The wheels are knackered, bar tape and shifters damaged, Then we will have to wait and see what the outcome is, Deb was supposed to be riding at the Velodrome in three weeks time she will be disappointed to miss that, Not a good start to the year.
Have just found out the peanut who hit her was a doctor, She offered no help to Deb at all. WTF is that all about. Deb has just phoned the woman for her insurance details, The peanut never even asked how she was,
Oh, I mistakenly pressed the like button instead of the reply button. I immediately unliked it but I'm saying so that you don't get the impression that it was intentional.
