feeling a bit sore

Merlin M · 05-12-2014, 10:21 PM

I was cycling home from work today when I was going pas a queue of traffic on the right hand side (drivers side) when a car (I hadn't seen indicating) turned right, I didn't then have time to stop or swerve enough and collided with the car, turns out when the driver started turning he was looking... left!

Thankfully I am fine but feeling rather sore! I was checked over by paramedics to ensure I was ok and a passing Dr also stopped to give me first aid!

(rest of bike looks fine just a bent front wheel)

What a scare that must have been Merlin. I'm so glad you weren't hurt more badly but have a good rest over the weekend and take it easy. Sometimes it takes a day or two for the bruising to come out. x

Yeah, Russ is taking good care of me!
Yes I am still finding bruises (accident happened just before 5pm) and I hurt all over!
But nothing seems broken just bashed and one very fat lip! I was very lucky!

The heck with watching where your going

now your going to have to watch where everyone else is going

Glad your okay

Just make sure you post pictures of bruises in the appropriate section

I've heard big lips are in right now

This is why women should never be allowed to operate any type of machinery, i suppose you scratched the poor innocent drivers car too

Hope you didn't bruise your puppies

And shows that men should always look where they are going!
It was a very expensive looking merc but I think I only hit the front wheel, judging by all the rubber on by wheel...

Thanks I am ok, just sore. Am being very well looked after!

Hope you are not feeling too battered today, maybe have a couple of days off work next week.
