    The bush is there to stop you falling in the crack.

    I'm going home today and nothing will stop me cycling, I had a bit of a layoff in the autumn due to a knee injury sustained while mowing the lawn (there must be joke in there somewhere) and I put on half a stone in 3 weeks. I might just try and avoid dark nights in future. The funny thing is I actually feel safer on the roads when it's dark because you can see headlights far earlier than you would see the vehicle in daylight.

    Dangerous obviously but generally healthier than not cycling. I'm being mercilessly nagged to wear a helmet which I will do as I'll have a weakness (some might say I've had a weakness in the head since I was born), but that won't protect me from breaking ribs etc.... It's just life, these things happen, I could have been doing DIY up a ladder and sustained worse injuries.

    Not seen it yet, the bloke that picked me up off the road (I was unconscious) put the bike in the back of his car and will bring it back when it's convenient.

    Never wear lycra, only a pair of cycling shorts (or longs this time of year) always under some ordinary shorts. I don't want to scare anyone with my backside....

    Good for you Brush! I wish I could cycle to work, but Hilton to Stoke is a bit far at 27 miles each way! I'll just have to carry on cycling at the weekends :).

    Good luck with the recovery. I had an accident earlier last year, fell off a ladder and face planted a big plant pot, smashed my lower front teeth out and the bone below, sliced through my nose as well, I was glad they took me to Derby rather than Burton :).
