She was returning from a swim, cycling on her wee folder along McDonald Road. Lights turned amber as she was crossing Leith Walk, a car turned right across her path and she crashed into its rear door. </p> <p>Apparently she was shepherded into Mark Lazarowicz's office and looked after until she felt able to continue. A passerby straightened her handlebars out, another commented that she'd left quite a dent in the car door. Driver was an elderly gent, probably didn't see her, checked if she was okay, then said he was going to his daughter's wedding (!) and couldn't stop.</p> <p>She did manage to cycle back home, though in a bit of pain.<br /> A few bruises, sprain/possible fracture in right wrist. Ibuprofen duly dispensed. I'm going to see how she gets on and if no improvement in the wrist will pack her off to the Western General this evening.</p> <p>Not nice but could have been a lot worse. I've had a few near misses at that junction myself, again with cars turning across me. </p>
