A cyclist I'd been riding in with and I colided unfortunately this morning at Barnton Ave and East Barnton Ave junction.
We'd struck up a conversation in South Queensferry and just rode in (something you can't do in a car btw). As we approached the left hand turn where the road goes left, she missed the bend and we colided as I turned in and she didn't. I am on the Bent and have no injuries, but the poor lady ended up going over the handle bars of her bike. I passing joggiest stopped and in the end we called an ambulance. She has minor cuts and bruising and after 25 mins waiting she cancelled the ambulance and got a taxi instead.
I feel bad for colliding with her, but when I asked her while we waited for the taxi, if she meant to continue on the road round to the left, or make a right turn stright on, she said she had meant to go left. I feel a little better for this, but still sorry for colliding with her. :O(
I have had a short text exchange with her and she is at the Western Gen's minor injuries centre and being looked after. She was appologetic but I think perhaps if was a mutual crash and we're both at fault.
I wish her the best for a speedy recovery and hope she doesn't feel too sore over the next few days.
Turns out she rides with the wife of a coulpe of friends in the bay, small work etc...
