My first summer in many many years commuting by cycling (well a few days a week) and I made it to here without any drama. But got hit by a car and took a tumble. Now need a new helmet, thought it was only scratched, but when the OH was looking at it, she spotted the inside of it is cracked through. So much have been a harder impact than I realised. I'm so glad I wear it. Was only a Lidl one but it saved my noggin.

Sorry for the rant, Glad to hear you are OK, go out and buy a new helmet ASAP;)
