The bike went out from underneath my wife last night, on the way home. I was a few cars behind and didn't see anything until I saw her bike on the ground and feared the worst. That small moment when you think everything's falling apart...
She said that she'd just lost traction with the front wheel. We'll never know. There were a lot of people around her already when I got there but nobody had a good idea what had happened. Someone was on 999 already.
She was conscious but bleeding. Conscious enough to tell the guy who wanted to put her in recovery position not to move her. She's got training, she's the one who's calm in a crisis :-D
Smashed her (favourite) glasses. Concussion. Road rash on face, elbow, hip, knee, ankle. Got back from A&E about 1.30am.
Collected her bike from a nearby railing this afternoon. Brake hood's been dunted inwards on the side she fell but otherwise just cosmetic. Maybe time for new bar tape?
