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.

Cor blimey - or should I say gore blimey!

That's a mighty good bruise.
Right! What's next?

Ooooh. That sounds like a daft idea.  I am in!

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



This isn't just a thousand to one shot. This is a professional blood sport. It can happen to you. And it can happen again.

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.

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.

There wasn't much blood with my off, and a dislocation doesn't show, but some of the bruising is coming out now.

Thumb (non-impact side):


Shoulder graze (it's very awkward to photograph this when i have limited mobility):


Couldn't get a snap of the other graze.

Hip (couldn't get the whole bruise in):

Not very gory, but a cycling injury:

That's not a cycling injury!  The tiger's claw marks are clearly visible.

Post 2- i count fourteen stitches?

(and regret slightly starting the thread)

 :sick:


Well you did ask ::-) ,broken collar bone following avoidance of a vauxhall zafira siidsy type ,we didnt collide but I couldnt keep the bike upright after a very acute swerve to avoid .Collar bone had to be plated hence to staples ,I would not recommend it.4 months off the bike 18 months physio to get 90 of mobility back.


I've still got too much pain and not enough strength to ride or run 6 weeks after breaking my collar bone in two with an off road at night off. Mine hasn't been plated, so now nothing to photograph except the lump, but hoping for a better outcome than 18 months. Sorry to read that.

Bruising was quite good, neck and down side chest to broken ribs.

"Road just leapt out and bit mah leg, boy..."

We'll mark that [DIY] seat bracket a FAIL then (compression on bridge strut not enough, so bottom of recumbent seat was suddenly not attached to anything solid). That'll sting all day.
I'd offer you some moral support - but I have questionable morals.
