DJR Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 Yup, crazy morning but I am 'ok'. Really sorry to hear of this. Glad you are physically unharmed. Watch out for the emotional bruises and don't let it scar you. Bikes can be replaced, although it doesn't always feel like that. Hairy 1

Don't hesitate to take the trauma counseling offer. I was involved in an car accident last year, brushed it off. Two months later I checked myself into ER with chest pains. Turned out to be anxiety and PTSD driven. Sorted now, but I could have saved some of the hair on this receding hairline of mine. Hairy 1

Let's Ride Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 The police are currently investigating and going after them. They have held up a lady at the ATM and mugged a mother pushing her baby in a pram in the area.What amazes me. One lady in my running group runs main road and Stanhope early in the morning most days. I being a male am worried but I run with nothing except my watch and tell my wife what route I am running/ what time she should start worrying.
ChrisF Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 Yup, crazy morning but I am 'ok'. Glad you are okay. Hoping the insurance gets you going quickly. Must say, a few "facts" worries me though ....- a "roadie" stopping at a robot .... never seen this ....- a "roadie" having front and back lights on his bike .... NEVER seen this .....- is Pure Savage a closet-MTBer ... DJR 1

You should get out of the house more often if you do not see "roadies" do what you mentioned in the first two points Edited July 20, 2020 by Bateleur1 jackievs, DJR and Wannabe 3
