Re: Moo down :(
1) Go to A&E, make sure nothing's broken
2) Get someone with a video camera to record the approach to your off, and the chippings that you didn't spot in time. 3) Check the video for loose chippings signs. If there are no warning signs get some decent advice on whether it's worth chasing the council for compensation. My money is on signs appearing the day after you contact the council, and the council blaming the contractors and trying to shuffle off any liability. But I'm an incurable cynic! Hope you're back on the bike soon, Keith. |

Re: Moo down :(
Thanks for all the replies guys.
not been to A&E yet as ive filled up on the killers and gone to work (cant afford to be off) It does indeed count as cow tipping as stated in the bible. |

Re: Moo down :(
sorry to hear about your off! Bikes fixable
Get yourself down to hospital though just for a check up. I came off ma mountain bike a while ago and what a thought was just a bruised finger a soldiered on. Ignored folks comments of hospital. Anyway 4 weeks later, I finally went. Turns out it was fractured and started healing. The bone set wrong and now a can't fully straighten it.

Re: Moo down :(
Sorry about the off, GWS mate. I hate loose chippings and when they turn into small mounds of chippings that jump out on you grrr
