BMCfan Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Ag no man Slowbee!Damn ignorant drivers. Wanna say glad that you got out of it relative unscathed, but i should not be saying anything at all as it should not have happened! Happy pedaling soonest!
JoeyK Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Good to hear you are okay slowbee. Broke my collarbone on Friday. Getting the op today to get the bone fixed. Be safe guys. Cheers
Thor Buttox Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Sorry to hear Slowbee, Gees that sucks. As a roastie veteran, brave the Methyolate - it is the worst pain for a few mins but it dried mine out quickly!!
Patchelicious Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Sorry to hear that, glad to hear that your bike is ok. Arms grow back, frames cost money
Slowbee Posted July 8, 2015 Author Posted July 8, 2015 Glad you are alive to tell the terrible tale. Take some anti-inflammatories tonight you are going to hurt tomorrow.tomorrow arrived far faster than I wanted ! Thanks for all the thoughts guys. The bike is fine, I managed to ride home, although a bit shaky and wobbly and bleeding and flashing a bit. Almost phoned for a ride home - but seeing those okes on the TDF just get up and ride kinda like, hey I can do that too, or not. Sitting is interesting! Will go for a check up to be sure - and make sure the other oke pays for it. Nothing wrong with the bike, actually it seems to be riding better as my chain is not clicking like it was when I went out for a ride.

mon-goose Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 i'd still send the bike for a service / checkup in case something is wrong and you can't claim from the drive later
Jigghead Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Very glad to hear you're OK. You said pulling up to a robot? Before I get flamed, I hate the disregard cars have for cyclists and pedestrians, but could he have thought your flashing red lights may have been from the robot and not a cyclist? It would almost make it a little more understandable, but doesn't change the need for motorists to be more alert. Would a color change for bike lights be worth looking into?
Amberdrake Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Heal up well! Watch out for the ache's and pains they can become massive problems.
JXV Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 OP - Hope you have a smooth recovery...... Would a color change for bike lights be worth looking into?Was on my bike the other morning before work when a motorbike with one of those KTM orange headlights approached - at first it looked just like the orange streetlamps further back behind him - then I noticed it was moving....fast. Gotta be careful with colours. I say stick with flashing red LED. Everybody knows its the back of a bike - so you only have to worry about the drivers that are texting or vrot....or both
Uni Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 good luck with the recovery. Watched a guy make his way over a double lane roundabout -i was scared. you roadies got balls.
