I fell off my bike, when did you fall last ?

That is horrendous. What the hell is wrong with these people?

Two months ago, put my foot down and there was just air not tarmac, so fell lightly to the left at a junction. The first time was some years ago when an old woman pulled out in front of the Walmart bike (my brother brought it home from the US on the plane, looked okay but was terrible) exiting a petrol station. I braked and the brakes locked up and was thrown off. The old woman kept saying she had her indicator one therefore she had right of way. I was a bit out of it from the fall, so I ignored both her and someone who offered to be a witness. I hope the old bat is off the roads. She was one of those with no glasses who crane their necks to the windscreen. That was some years ago, probably five years ago.

I broke my sternum when I t boned a car at speed maybe 8 years ago, it was truly awful. I also broke my neck and my shoulder and a few ribs but the pain in the center of my chest was next level. My chest was black with a bruise. It must of been some thump u got, thats a big bone, the doctors said usually when that bone breaks its usually a very severe car or motorbike accident. Little consolation but you should feel lucky you probably didn't land on your back first or your head. Hope u feel better by this stage.

new forest near ringwood, hacking round the mtb trails there. front wheel went flat in about a second. came off and a peice of flint made a nice slice in my kneecap.

Out for a Gravel Spin on Saturday - off a couple of times on back roads and black ice. Both pretty slow motion, so not damage to me or the bike!

I came off over 2 weeks ago on 3rd roundabout in the Phoenix Park (Park Gate St end). It was a frosty but dry morning at about 06:30 and roads hadn't been too bad until then so somewhat taken by surprise even though I took the roundabout pretty carefully and straight on. Road was lethal and no traction at all, bike went straight from under me. Motorist behind got out to check I was ok, gathered myself and bike to the footpath and as I was trying to straighten out my chain another cyclist came behind and did the exact same. We both took a right wallop, I had a bruised/cut cheek which quickly healed buy my left thumb and right wrist still aren't 100%.

Even trying to get going again the back wheel was spinning thanks to the OPW neglecting to spread any salt/grit in frosty weather. A few weeks prior to Christmas when we had frosty weather and a touch of snow the park was lethal also requiring cyclists stick to the car tracks on the road. Will have to rethink the Phoenix Park altogether anytime in future when there's frost but the alternatives of the Navan & South Circular Road or Chapelizod are pretty unpleasant for cycling.

Exact same for me today, fortunately I've only battered my little finger into a slightly swollen purple mess. Gave my head a clobber too but the helmet took the brunt.

I slid along the road and got away without anything else getting damaged.

Finished work at 1100 AM Tuesday decided to spin the leg after 3 weeks off due to holidays and Suspected Covid.

Coming down from Sandyford, turned right at the Goat pub, I was only just around the corner when my chain snapped (shouldn't really have, only around a thousand km.on it)

I fixed it and decided to go the shorter way home through Clonskeagh.

Directly outside Clonskeagh motors I didn't notice an unfinished rise and fought with the handlebars for 4/5 seconds but still managed to fall down.

An amount of road rash on the left leg and hip ~ 4 broken ribs, broken collar bone, and a fractured skull.

Helmet shattered, I'm not going to extol the virtues of lids, I know there are varying beliefs about them, but I'm glad I had mine on.

I sit now in St. James' Hospitsl looking out at the lovely weather, missing the long weekend, but thankful to be here.

Never got to check the bike over properly, but at a quick glance it was grand.

To the Gentlemen who were fitting a sign at Clonskeagh Motors, and gave me a lift to Walkinstown ~ you have my unending gratitude. I will find you and reward you somehow.

Sorry to hear it. Was this on the bike lane, on the Motors side or across the road? Might be worth reporting it to the Council.

Speedy recovery Wheelo, that's seriously bad luck, such an innocuous accident. As you say "glad to be here" is the pertinent part of your account. Take care and fingers crossed for a speedy recovery 🙏

Does a bright orange Jersey, fluoro yellow helmet and shoes count?

LOL.

Vague thoughts of entering the top ten on a segment along here, combined with not really knowing where the segment ended, caused me to come a cropper when I attempted to skirt around this gate carrying too much speed...

As it turns out, the reason why I was unsure where the segment ended is because this is actually the start of it, and it runs in the opposite direction to the way I was going 😂.

I'm tempted to create section covering what I did, just to see how I got on...
