How do I HTFU?!

Sorry so late with the reply, but I'm doing some catching up on the sleep that I've missed for a few years it seems.

I'd hit a pothole that I didn't see. My speed and maybe the sharp lip of the pothole caused my tyre to burst. I sailed through the air, as if I was the same weight as Object*, hitting some pole head-first, bouncing (from a headbutt?) back onto the railing below (hitting that with my back, arse and back of my left leg), then bouncing from there a few feet forward into the road, where my 54 inch moobs stopped me from being squash-faced. I've always said "fat is good". :)

*Just playing with you Mr.Object

Oh yes, I will have to wear a cycling helmet. So, like I told Rocksteady, I'll be researching that soon. Yes, maybe I should've done that much earlier. :(

If a pothole caused you to crash then you can ask the council for compensation; I got a new frame off Camden that way. You need to get a photo of that pothole ASAP and some legal advice. May take a while but well worth pursuing.
