Riding on the black forest today some guy bumped me off the bike in an intersection. Got me a free ride on an ambulance ...

Bike (carbon):
Seattube broken above the bb, top tube broken 10 cm behind the steerer tube. Frontwheel looks like a inverted double helix. Couldn't check thouroughly, the ambulance took me away. Thank God have Crash Replacement for the frame. Sux anyway.

Myself, couple a road rashes on the knees, shoulder, right jawbone, left index finger sprained, right big toes blue.

The helmet is cracked at about the middle of the length from the edge to halfway up. It took the hit and saved my head. Good boy, RIP.

Didn't see it coming, last thing I remember was the black car approaching. Weird I was kinda out-of-body just the split-second before.

Woke up with a couple of people around me and the ambulance arrived. Will post a pic of the bike once I get it back from the precinct tomorrow.

Gotta eat now. Refueling for next week's Marathon, 400km.

Take care out there, where ever you ride.

Your injuries were worse than mine and i had doctors orders to stay off a bike for 2 weeks. Since you were out you probably got a concussion too. Don't ride your bike for a couple weeks let that body recover.

Will see what the night brings, if I throw up, definitely back to the ER. I have planned a recovery week anyway the doc in the ER didn't mention anything to stay off the bike however. There were two more cyclists being brought in right after me so maybe he was tired of us...

Read the thread by Sonoma76 entitled "Brain Damage".

Glad to hear you're relatively OK. Good luck with your recovery. Stay safe.

I second that. I broke my wrist on Easter Sunday this year and, I was off my bike for close to two months. I am still trying to get my confidence back, as I crashed while traveling to a bike ride starting point by not looking straight ahead and seeing a patch of asphalt that had worn away at the top layer.

Ok Ok, Doc says no way. Can't brake with a sprained finger anyway. Must have been the adrenaline So I cancelled the Brevet. As promised some pictures. Bruises still hurt a little, more groggy from the Tetanus vaccination they gave me :s

4 months old. RIP

But hey, at least your bottle cages are in one piece ! Hope you heal up fast and can be riding again soon

Thanks man but no, the seat tube one is cracked.

I would hope you do not have to use your crash insurance, the driver should be paying you for a new bike. Glad you are OK. My son went through the rear window of a car and ended up in the back seat. He said he never lost consciousness but the doctor told him no biking for at least 2 weeks.

Boo how'd the components do? You going with the same thing for the replacement? Heal well.

Still have to thoroughly check and disassemble it. It seems everything above the impact line is fine, all below not really. We'll see what I get for the replacement but I guess it'll be the same frame and components. Took me too long to figure out all the details and I still have the "shopping list". Loved the ride and had built it myself

The driver's insurance will probably pay for the damage. If not, well then the driver will.

Oh sh.... rear window sux man.

Haven't heard of the make, but just checked them out on the net. Looks like a great bike. Tube shapes remind me of one of Guru's bikes. Can't really read to much about them because I can't read Austrian.

They are indeed, the frames are top notch and light. I don't think they have a site in English. They are mainly active in Europe in Austria, Switzerland and Germany.
