That bike looks done for, how are you? Did your foot stay in the clip? Did you walk away, or hop up and go punch the driver in the head?
Cheers Richard |

Screw the bike, how are you? I figure not too bad since your leg wasn't extended?

The bike is the least of my worries.
Emergency. Deglove. Etc. Operation. No broken bones. Home. Recovering. I am reasonably certain i would now be dead, if my leg had been extended. |

No broken bones? Damn. Much road rash? What was the operation for? I assume you had some festive debridement - btdt. Best of luck with the recovery.

One lucky dude. My best to you-I'm recovering from having a (2nd) plate put in my right arm as the result of a recent road bike misadventure, I feel your pain. Pain meds are your friend, I hate em but they're necessary-just keep up with the Colace/Sennakot

I had the exact same wreck in college, LHS, bottom stroke and my leg and foot were shattered.
It changed my life. Kiss the sky my Friend, kiss the sky.

You are lucky. Maybe doesn't feel like it, but you are.
Hope the driver will pay for his/her crime. |
