Hi Velocio and everyone,

I'm Ellen's boyfriend and very grateful for you being there and helping. Ellen has said a lot of good things about your help and support. Thanks for that!

She's doing fine and although a bit hobbling along, she was on her bike already today and her legendary strength of mind will keep her bouncing :)

I've been myself in a bike accident (on my own around Richmond, duh...) and I've been genuinely impressed by the support cyclists (and motorists, I have to say) gave me around there, which was a nice surprise.

I'm glad you guys keep up with all these things, and that the cycling community as a whole is behind its members. I've been around the forum for quite some time to drool on everyone else's bike photos when I bought my fixie in 2008, and I only just joined the forum, but hopefully I'll keep reading great news around!

Thanks again for all your nice messages.

Hi,
Ellen here!!! Thanks to Velocio I regained some of my confidence as he rode part of the way home with me; so, no worries Stonehedge it will take more than this to put me off!! Cuts, bruises and aches all taken care of thanks to the staff at the hospital where I work. Been back on the bike commuting today and got a swim in. Sore, but recovering. Thanks for all of your support I'm very touched. Flowers on their way to a lovely lady at a nearby restaurant who helped and driver has offered to pay for a replacement set of cycling shoes which were damaged. There are some genuine drivers out there! Safe cycling everyone!

Welcome both. Glad this was all resolved so well!

The Hammersmith Gyratory is a major wart on the face of London and it is high time that it was returned to something sensible.
