Hit by a car... again.

Sorry to hear about this Adam, was that other driver a witness? or will it be young Adam's word against a consultant surgeon!! (maybe he has points on his licence , not BC points either)

bad luck matey,the most important factor with an accident insurance claim is to get a witness on your side if there was one if there isn't a witness then its your word against his.

The lady who turned up obviously didn't see the accident so therefor is not a witness, even if she did see it then by the sound of things would be on the side of the driver as she knew him.

I usually like to crash where there are lots of marshals and witnesses standing around and also a video camera running

[quote="-Adam-"] Mate, didn't I mention the things cracked!? Put it this way, I would never ride that frame again.

Dr this morning confirmed I'm not in too bad a shape, indeed I seem to be good at bouncing.

Only real concern was any damage I may have done to my coccyx, which is to be duly monitored. Other than that, my wrist and right shoulder (again) are the other problem areas. My foot seems in pretty good nick, and cycling is not a problem on it, although walking is a bit painful.

So having been advised to keep moving I hopped on my, now, training bike (R3 ). Off I went, actually I felt ok. My wrist was the most persistent source of pain, but not excruciating. Then when pushing hard in the saddle my coccyx was causing quite a bit of discomfort, and felt like it was really robbing me of power. So my hill reps weren't exactly blistering. But it was good just to be back on the bike.

So, see you Saturday for the clubrun...

Oh yeah, and the police are now on the case. Will be interesting to see how they get on, the officer I spoke to certainly agreed the driver was 100% at fault.

Received a cheque for £2,750 from the most recent accident, today. To cover damaged bike and clothes.

Some justice at last.

I heard that as the car was overtaking Adam, he grabbed the aerial with his right hand and pulled it in front of him "Bos" style...............

[quote="Sean Hogan - 何祥"]I thought this was to cover loss of earnings from Image rights?

Thank God....when I saw this was bounced, I started to think it was the beginning of 2009's round of accidents.

This is much better news. I'll have a pint of Guinness please
