Came off on a wire mesh covering on a bit of bridging on NCN 45, and managed to bend my elbow backwards somehow.
Looks like an adequate amount of gore, but which stayed inside.

Little Cudzo (7) says "That looks like a really bad bruise. He definitely can't go to the Olympics."

That is very impressive.

Cor blimey - or should I say gore blimey!

That's a mighty good bruise.

Ouchy!!! This is what happens if you pull out of a cleat whilst attempting to accelerate onto a roundabout on a fixie!!

Nicely done, Fattersbeswollen!

As for me, I can report that my knee injury has almost stopped oozing.

Yeah but it's not fair because all I've got is some nice colouration and stiffness (oo-eerrr Missus!!), and you've got a lovely scab to pick!!

That lovely scab which got caught on the corner of my desk and is now bleeding?

My bruises only went a bit yellow and a bit black, then faded

Hi everyone - fascinated by all the gory shots and have one of my own to share - standing up pedalling hard when my chain broke sending me over the front wheel, which in turn buckled and cracked under the extra weight. Everything happened really quick but I'm pretty sure I've come down on the side of the wheel and the (very unfortunately) star-shaped nut on the outside of the skewer has gouged this hole in my hip. Its about 4cm, or just under 2 inches long. The bruising is now all around the area and much more painful than the cut after 3 days. Plenty of other bruises and less dramatic grazes all over as well.

Impressive colour palette.

Its added that sickly yellow to the bruise now too...

Swoooon outchy.

I'm counting it as a cycling injury since the little bugger, whatever it was, bit me while I was riding...

Yup, that swelling does indeed go from 2" above the ankle to 2" below the knee. And is now getting lovely and oozy. Joy!

Falling asleep at the wheel isn't fun, kids. It's one thing to do it at 10mph on a recumbent, but it could have been seriously nasty on an upright bike, or worse - a car.

As far as I can work out, these were caused by the handlebar, either during the sudden impact when the kerb (actually a raised verge) grabbed the wheel and sharply applied full right lock, or as I went into ejector-seat mode while the bike decelerated below me. Possibly both.

I also bashed my left elbow (as usual), and got covered in nettle rash.
