I saw him last night he is doing ok.</p> <p>It was a bad shoulder dislocation but thankfully his left shoulder (he is right-handed), they need to wait and see how it heals there may be damage to his rotator cuff which wouldn't be good.</p> <p>His helmet has a dent in it apparently though he hasn't seen it, the police still have it and his bike. Note to non-helmet wearers and this was on a cycle path too.</p> <p>He doesn't know how his front tyre slipped from under him as he was looking up at people as its a busy corner. He admits he was probably taking it a little fast..</p> <p>No bones broken though, and he would like to say a huge thanks to everyone who stopped to help him, threw their jackets over him and waited with him til the ambulance came.</p> <p> </p> <p></em>"</p> <p>Stay safe out there folks </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16915#post-231662 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 10:08:16 +0000 nobrakes 231662@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>2 people in 2 days - not good.

Apparently there was an ambulance there at 8.15am.</p> <p>Hope rider is okay. </p>
