Bike smash! 4 Mar 2010


Had a smash. It was my fault for not checking my pannier properly. It got loose, and became lodged in the front. I chipped a small bone, triquetrum, in my wrist, and got some scrapes. Its another vote for confidence in the bicycle helmet. I wacked my head hard, but am fine.

The neighbours asked if I was going to give it up now. Luckily, Marie still allows me to ride. It's either get fat, and guarantee bad health, or risk another smash. I'm trying to ride more carefully.

<-- due to the speed, the frame got very bent when the front wheel stopped.
