Poor WC. :-( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17875#post-253977 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 08:39:20 +0000 TractorFactory 253977@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>EEeeesshhh, Wingpig showed me the x-ray yesterday. Get better soon sir, sounds and looked rather nasty. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17875#post-253975 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 08:14:37 +0000 I were right about that saddle 253975@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Diesel on roundabouts is a real menace. It sloshes out of over-filled and improperly closed tanks on LGVs as they swing round the curve and then takes the rest of us out.</p> <p>Last time I fell off on the road was the Lady Road roundabout which leads to the Sainsbury's petrol station and is a real menace as a result - downhill, off camber and a nice rainbow sheen.</p> <p>Whole thing sounds as hideous as it was avoidable. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17875#post-253954 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 21:34:45 +0000 gembo 253954@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>See also Wilmington's cow. Nice X-ray of his elbow. And the old pin he had in it. Hope he recovers completely, though he don't post here no more. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17875#post-253931 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 18:43:28 +0000 LaidBack 253931@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Picked up on FB today. </p> <p>Many have passed on their wishes directly but for those new to the Edinburgh cycling scene. </p> <p>Anth, creator of the original .CityCycling magazine had a nasty spill from his bike in the wet yesterday. (link to CC on r/h)<br /> Of course we're all 'movers and shakers' here - but that's due to the state of the roads.</p> <p>In this case though, oil or pollution was the likely cause.</p> <p>Wishing him a speedy and full recovery.</p> <p><em>Anthony Robson<br /> 17 hrs ·</p> <p>Thanks for all of the messages. Promise I'll reply properly in the next day or two.</p> <p>Wee update. Got operated on yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon. Took around four hours but appears to have gone well.</p> <p>If you're squeamish probably best to stop reading now...</p> <p>Really slow speed on the roundabout outside Ocean Terminal, between it and the Holiday Inn. Just on the greasy wet the wheels went before I even knew it. Still had my hands on the bar when I hit the deck, with my elbow right underneath me.</p> <p>I knew straight away there was something up. Tried lifting my arm and it was just falling limp, but at least I could move my fingers. A bus driver shouted to ask if I was okay, and matter of factly informed him my arm was broken. And then noticed the blood and realised it must be open / compound.</p> <p>A girl in an Edinburgh Leisure top had stopped her car to help. She got my bike as I rested on a wall, then went into the hotel to see if there was a first aider. There wasn't, but told me to come and sit in the lobby while waited for an ambulance. I walked in and saw guests all sitting having their breakfast and turned round saying I didn't want to disturb their guests so I'd wait outside. Thankfully someone told me not to be so daft and took me back in.<br /> </em> </p>
