Were you adjusting the front mudguard with your foot?

So tell me, do you have any other siblings and after Julian's sacking and your pavement interface, are they now watching out for meteorites?

Nope. Phil's currently rocking the cycling specs:

To die for! (Oh, hang on, you already tried that; please don't try again!)

Tertiary ablative braking system in perfect working order.

Lindagordinho · « **Reply #106 on:** March 17, 2012, 07:02:36 PM »

Well, I did promise.

Arse

Elbow

Not even any blud on these ones I'm afraid

Very pretty. And crucially, you can still tell the difference, which I understand is important.

Yeah, so I'm told.

The pictures of the offending oil slick that soaked into my jeans didn't come out so you'll have to imagine them.

This is probably not gory enough for this thread:

First tandem crash, caused by random wild creature who we couldn't find afterwards. From its awesome turn of speed I suspect it was a pole cat (there are a few of them around there).

Animal! Yargh! Splat!

That took a split second to happen. Didn’t have time to react at all before it ran into the right hand side of the front wheel and we fell to the right. No sign of animal after.

Ooof you guys, those look stingy.

Scab well soon.

Sorry the gore has been ameliorated overnight, but I didn't have a chance to photograph it yesterday

simonp · « **Reply #113 on:** April 12, 2012, 09:03:06 AM »

Ow, that looks nasty.

*wince*

I'm always shocked by how RED blood looks when viewed through my customised monitor gamma settings. In real life it's a generic dark colour that's hard to differentiate from mud, oil or poo...

jogler · « **Reply #115 on:** April 12, 2012, 03:35:46 PM »

blood is red

I thought it's green

Eeps moar goriness, GWS Clarion

If it was yesterday's injury it's a knee, I think.

My elbow has gone yellow and purple.

Cor, Clarion, that's a splendid bit of gore. Hope it heals up ok as it looks like quite a lot of skin isn't there anymore.

My elbow has now gone black. But I prefer black to gory! The scab on my knee cracks in half and oozes gunge into my leg warmers when I ride the bike.

Elbow looking a nice shade of yellow:

Adhesion- ouch!

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.

fboab · « **Reply #123 on:** April 21, 2012, 06:24:17 PM »

That's going to be a lovely range of colours! Ouch!

Wonderful demonstration of how a watchband limits spread of gore!
