Getting better all the time!
Hi,
Brand new member 55 years age, 3 years ago I got T-boned on my bike by a car at a crossroads that didn’t give way. Brain injury 7 months off work, still recovering.
I’ve started riding again easy does it. Medically not allowed to drive. I bought a cheap Peugeot for £35 and love it also a cheap giant foldie to do the train commute. May ride all the way again someday.
Anyway Good day from Torbay, Devon, UK.

Welcome.
Be safe out there. There is nothing more important when on 2 wheels in the wild civilized world.

Wow, that is awful, not being able to drive because someone hurt you by not yielding. I hope he was caught and is ALSO not allowed to drive any more.
Glad to have another rider of folders here; they're SO practical. We have a nice subforum for them; check it out some time.
