Kris and I also chatted to him while he was waiting for the ambulance. For someone that had just eaten the road he was in great spirits! I would have been putting on a full on Oscar performance!

Crash report

Please Patch' ????????

 

Never lekka ????

Ag it was a silly crash.

 

A friend was taking his new Sworks Tarmac out for the first time (yes it has disks) and he was riding next to me to allow me to admire it.

 

We were doing about 40kph was still dark. He hit a pothole and and went down. Took me down with him.

 

Seems like I broke his fall as he is mostly ok.

 

I broke my clavicle, the one that I broke 2 years back. Bent the plate pretty badly. Witnesses say his disk hit my shoulder and that's what caused it to bend ????

 

So I got a shiny new one put in last night.

 

Luckily Complete Cyclist is right next to Sandton mediclinic, so bike has been checked in already too. Bike seems to have been damaged a bit, with the frame taking some carbon damage. Hopefully my preaching of using a broker pays off now.

Ow!

So the disc brake created a pothole which ended up in this crash to happen. :huh:

Causality = clear as crystal
