Not me but Tony Martin (OPQS). And to think he's still giving it clog on the front for Cav. #nails

Delthebike not down!

Riding along the seafront path at Southend, Western Esplanade

, another cyclist (I use the term quite wrongly as it's just a POBSO (pedestrian on a bike shaped object)). Hops off footway, on his full sus, Argos special MTB, clamps the phone to his ear and can't ride a straight line and talk at the same time. He veers into my path, I'm heading west and on the left side of the two way path, so I shout a warning and start braking. He now pays attention to me and dives for the kerb! The kerb he heads for seperates the bike path from the footway

so he is now firmly heading straight for me and we collide.

I call him every name under the sun

and realising he's not worth any more bother (he only has half his front teeth), the BSO etc. I ask if he's injured (I'm nice like that

). Then leave him to it.

No bike damage, didn't even move my headlight. Left wrist is sore and will bruise nicely though!

Del, are his teeth in there by any chance?

I think forearm smash to the mouth would have been OTT, just a tad but OTT all the same.

Eeps Fungus that looks really nasty

Cycling _related_ at least.....

Home made rice pudding in large heavy quantities for hungry LELers were the cause. One caused by an awkward tray in the steam oven, and the by the unexpectedly reluctant-to-stay-open ordinary oven door.

You'll be pleased to know I didn't drop the tray and waste the pud.

12mph into pedestrian who stepped out into the road sideways with his back to me. I had no time to stop and nowhere to go as I had a high kerb on the nearside and traffic on the offside. I braked and braced for impact and then...remember getting in the ambulance about 40 mins later. Bike's a wreck and i'll need some dental work too.

That does look nasty. Did anyone call the police? Heal well and take your time.

Bloody pedestrians, they don't even pay Road Tax!

Did I forget to post this?

That's my left hip. Did it going too fast on wet pine needles. I didn't make the bend, and high sided into a flint covered car park. Nurse practitioner suspected fracture, physio suspected bursitis, GPs says probably blood under some sheath around the bone, but nothing to worry about. Whatever; a month later and it's still not right. Knee hurts, Achilles acting up, and the hip just aches most of the time.

Sports therapist / bike fitter in my LBS is saying "go see specialist hip physio", but I must have done several hundred quid on physios over the summer what with the crashes, and running injury. I could have bought a s/h MTB with that!

So, I'm thinking back to the GP. Any advice on what to say to make him take it seriously? I've seen him twice now, and he's not arsed.

mrcharly-YHT · « **Reply #167 on:** 15 November, 2013, 11:12:23 am »

What do you do for a living? Office job?

Tell him it is affecting your ability to work (can't sit down at work for protracted periods, or similar statement) and ask for reference to physio.

IME, GPs generally utterly ignore injuries that only affect ability to do hobbies/sport. It it is affecting work, then they act.

I can see the face of Jesus! Good luck getting the correct treatment.

That's not a single face. It's a crowd scene!

Getting better. Will need root canal treatment for two teeth and a crown before I am fully back to my dazzling good looks but if i keep my mouth shut you could be forgiven for thinking I was normal!

Photofits of the gang have been released by police.

I have a large, extremely purple and quite simply _splendid_ bruise on m'belly. No pics I'm afraid - I'm all for not fat-shaming, but the internet isn't ready for images of my spare tyres and I amn't ready for the hideous negative body-image repercussions of posting such, so you'll just have to imagine 'em.

I'm used to the semi-permanent bruise on my right buttock from catching the saddle nose getting in and out of the saddle at every stop on Valencia and have worked out that the new one is because, despite the relatively low bottom bracket, every time we stop the tandem I have to get out of the saddle to get a foot - always the left - down when I'm piloting. The fairly short top tube (with massive stem) means there ain't a lot of room so every time we set off and I have to get back onto the saddle and set off (concentrating on doing so without us losing balance or making the SmallestCub lose the pedals at the back) I end up bashing the opposite side of my belly. It is also, by happy coincidence, the exact same spot at the stoker bars hit as one manoeuvres said tandem round the corner getting the bike in through the front door.

It is Really Most Impressive.

A rather large bruise in a place that normally doesn't show!
