||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Glad you're alright. No, it luckilly never happened to me yet. I think chaosmachine had also been hurt by a vehicle twice last year. |
||||||||

I've never been hit by a vehicle before but when I was a kid, me and my friends used to hop up on ice cream truck bumpers and grab on tight. One time it left the neighbourhood and starting going fast on the main roads and I fell off. Literally ragdolled me, luckily I fell towards the sidewalk and bushes. Lots of bruises. |

thanks :) they say bad things come in thress, and so far a bad thing has happened to me every day this week, so looks like that saying is correct-a-mondo :) twice? jeez :( my apologies for any typos - still not quite with it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ouch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is the car allright? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i hit a car with my bike when i was about 5. the car and i survived, we were both moving quite slow, that's why. did you write/note down the plate numbers ? how did it happen first of all ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how did you manage that i got knocked off my bike once. hurt like hell. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What happened man!? I take it the car was going pretty slowly? My mum ran over my foot once. that hurt. went black, yummy! |
||||||||
|
|

my friend did something similar, but with a motorcycle....he sat on the back of it, facing backwards and got the driver to ride really fast... you ever seen Beavis & Butthead Do Ameria? Where Butthead makes Beavis jump out of the boot and "run" in sync with the road? That's why my friend tried - of course he failed miserably and escaped death with bruises and cuts hope your recovery was fast man, sounds like good clea childhood fun! |
||||||||

yeah glad your ok,hope you didnt damge the car to much:D |

thanks everybody for your concern, yet again just goes to show the great community here at xlt and why i love this place *communal beers for all* ok, well i was on my way to work this morning on my bicycle riding on the pavement. as i was coming up to a t-junction (i had to cross the road to get to the other side) a car clipped me as he was turning in. i was fucked in the head from severe stress and a bad nights sleep. but he should really have seen me - i had a bright yellow overcoat on. we both were going quite slowly, otherwise i think i wouldn't have survived with the injuries i have |

only good thing to happen to me this month is securing my claim on a mint condition 808 in retrospect though, that's a damn good thing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's driver's fault then. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope i didn't note down any numbers or anything, but the driver did stop. other people were there too so either they stopped to assist, or they hit the van as he stopped.....either way, they called 999 and the police and paramedics arrived, so i'm assuming the police would have taken down all relevant details. i'm just popping ibuprofen and paracetamol and resting. still gotta go to work though, so i'm hoping my legs aren't gonna be too fucked tomorrow for me to walk into work. i was alright today, but i know from experience that the aches don't come until the day after an injury usually :-s |
||||||||

999 are you in the uk |
||||||||
|
|

lol :> |

|

yes i'm in Burton-upon-Trent mate |
||||||||
|

that happened to my ex - but she got her foot ran over by a motorbike, and her toes were messed up i must say i think having a foot ran over by a car far exceeds the pain i'm in now - hope there's no ramifications of that accident that are still occurring now :) |

the best thing about being a cyclist is the fact that you are invincible. you can go on the road or pavement when you want, and road markings are for cars only. traffic lights are optional. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've been in numerous car accidents. Hit by a car? I dont remember. I am thinking no. As long as you dont have head trauma or internal injuries you are good to go! Thank goodness thats how it turned out. Glad you are healthy wealthy (?) and wise (?) :P Peace Love and Beers! |
||||||||

it was quite funny actually. Mum dropped me off at school and as she started to pull away she ran over my footsie. she was going realllyy slowly though cos the lights were on red, and she just kind of stopped on it. I was banging on the windows, and it took her a while to realise what had happened and then decide whether to reverse off it or carry on driving! I was running late so just kind of hobbled off because i was running late. Didn't realise how bad it was til i saw the tyre marks on my shoe and my black foot! Had a lsore ump there for ages but I don't think it broke any of the bones at all! What injuries have you got? were you wearing a helmet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true. good luck anyways. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah i believe thats about 2 hours awayish |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
-1x "running late" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i_x_ten yeh my mom told me that the driver is at fault, according to the law, so i'll have to see. i may even get some compensation out of this virginpusher no, no trauma that wasn't already there to begin with thanks :) i'm kinda healthy, not wealthy (as i'm paying for this 808 in installments i'm that broke!) and i'm certainly not wise :D SValx yes, ouch indeed....for the car to be stopped on your foot must've killed! my injuries consist of badly bruised and grazed knees, a bit of an ache on my right shoulderblade (as i fell on that too) and that's it i think. no i wasn't wearing a helmet. they're too expensive for what they are (just polystyrene) and they look ridiculous (yeah i know, this coming from a guy who has red hair and wears pink trousers!). i know i should wear a helmet but i really cant justify spending a ridculous amount of money on a piece of polystyrene with plastic on it. i can feel the flames now. lol |
||||||||

|
|
where are ya mate, if you don't mind my asking? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't be a muppet! If you'd smacked your head on the ground you'd probably be dead by now. it's not *just* a bit of plastic and polystyrene, you prawn! |

sunny rochdale,outer ringpiece ov manchester |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes true statement, i would have been dead more than likely :-s i can't afford one at the moment anyways, but i'll have to reconsider my issues with bicycle helmets later on :) muppets are good, prawns are fishy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

i was walking through leeds last night, to a gig at the other end of town, and the main cross junction had been sealed off by police and were taking photos for skid marks and the like (except it had been raining). looked like a car had hit a bicycle with fatal consequences, it did not look a pretty sight. so, glad you're alright though osillik. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes scary visage there mate thanks how was the gig though? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I did, when I was 9. I got away with a slight fracture and 15 stitches on my head. It was a joy to scare girls by takin off my hat at school 2 weeks later. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahah i like your style mate i was showing off my knobbly knees in work today. someone quipped "they've swapped his legs for arms!" poiting out thefact that i am a rather thin specimen of a human being! i'm guessing you still have a scar under your hairline then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
THE RANKING SO FAR: 1. QRDL [15 stitches] 2. oscillik [minor injuries] 3. ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think SValx ranks higher than i...her foot was crushed. my injuries are only minor...the only reason they hurt like a motherfucker is because i'm a wimp and have a very low pain threshold! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gig was absolutely amazing. a piano trio called 'the lion trio', ridiculously good! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, what?! So a black foot counts for nothing now-a-days?! Godddd |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ha, I'm not so sure about that! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
