Crikey, that sounds like it could have been very nasty, glad you are not badly damaged. GWS and get the CTC onto the blind bastard.

I think it pays to be built like a brick shiouthouse when it comes to 4x4/cyclist interfaces.
Also I was riding the cheapest least expensive bike I own, my Fuji Track fixie.

Which incidentally is now at the LBS being thoroughly checked out by Dr. Erik!

Indeed, I have discovered before just how little, er, shock protection my build gives me.

Jeez, that was close. Glad you're basically OK. Manage to bag any witnesses?

Just spotted this.  Glad it wasn't any worse, sounds nasty.

I don't like that road as there are too many distracted shoppers driving around there.

I got the repair estimate from the LBS and posted it off before I went away.

£220!  That should upset the fecker!  :thumbsup:

And if he doesn't pay it's time for the CTC and the ambulance chasers!  :demon: :demon:

That's just for repairing the bike, isn't it? You have other costs too. Are you adding them to the bill? If £220 is all you're asking he should be jumping for joy.
