"Steve has been fortunate in ­avoiding any real injuries so far with only a brief knee problem in the first few weeks."

Well that is what the Mirror Article says. Fate is ever thus!

Warning re comments, features magic hat talk  :facepalm:

It's ok, somebody beat me to my initial thought/response.    "Broken Ankle!"     (It really does amuse me how people think magic hats can prevent this type of injury)

We are as guilty of ill-thought out responses as anyone else: the commenter was referring to the accompanying picture.  We know that Steve happens to be wearing a helmet for this attempt.  The commenter did not link Steve's not wearing a helmet to his ankle injury and I think you'd have tyo work pretty hard (or not work at all) to infer it.

Thank you Steve for reviving this challenge that was thought to be unreachable.  You aren't there yet but have shown it can be done.  Hoping for a speedy recover and at some point see you finish the job.

Do you mean the Flash Advert at the top of the page?

Couldn't read anything in the text about magic hats?

What puzzles me is how his ankle got broke if he was in Wellingtons?

Wouldn't it be weird if the moped rider's name was Arthur Wellesley.

I can think of a few names for the moped rider.

Daily Mirror.

Unfortunately for some reason they've misplaced it in the 'weird news' section.

That's not a bad article. Steve wasn't sure how it had gone but I'd say it's pretty complimentary.

Explained how he was hit from behind by the moped and what he did immediately after, talked about the trike and that he still thinks he can beat the record on this attempt.

He mentioned the doctors were allowing him to try walking on the foot again, and that, although the foot's still not right, he's going to be back riding the upright bike in the next few days.

 ;D I can definitely confirm that is Steve being interviewed.
Some people say I'm self-obsessed but that's enough about them.

Piece about Steve in one of the local MK papers the MKNews

http://www.mkweb.co.uk/CYCLING-Quest-cycle-75-000-miles-year-hits-major/story-26529729-detail/story.html

They describe the incident with the moped as a collision

Very easy to see the MK News won't win awards for the quality of its journalism; "he succumbed to the nearest hospital" and other examples of poor use of English.
Mind you, to be fair, there are thousands of examples every day just as bad so MK News is not on it's Todd!

Quite, not least those who do not know the difference between it's and its.

http://www.its-not-its.info/

Or those who do not know how to spell tod when using the colloquial meaning.

It comes from a jockey, Tod Sloan, who died alone and in poverty.

Strictly, it is rhyming slang: on your Tod Sloan - alone.

Shortened to: on your tod.

One could argue whether the t in tod should be upper case, but it is certainly not Todd with two ds.

The slang form is a contraction of the name Todhunter.

Guilty as charged!
Although you didn't read the whole article in the link - as an Aussie I was referring to Tod Malone.
