Slowbee Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Out on my little ride this afternoon, I got hit from behind. My worst nightmare as there was nothing I could do. First bicycle accident with a car in 7 yrs. Now I had a light on the back of my helmet, a light attached to my hydration pack and a light attached to my seat post. All on and all flashing. Lucky I was riding slowly up to a robot and the guy in the car must have been slowing down as well. But I heard the bang, felt the tarmac, and just lay there. Wondering how on earth my back wheel and the frame I love so much will look when I sit up. I couldn't sit up. The nose of the seat had hit my left but cheek and was cramping like mad. And of course the roasties. BUT on the bright side - the bike turned out to be fine. Just the rider is a bit sore. Be careful guys. Even when you are the driver.
Long Wheel Base Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Ahh sorry to hear man. What was the idiot motorists excuse? Hope you back on the bike soon.
