216. Bike crash!!

The cycle helmet debate is one that continues to rage. There are countless arguments for and against their usefulness.

Today, mine saved me from almost certain concussion, or worse.

You can see my elbow above took some of the force. My hip and back are in agony, and I can barely walk. I suspect I’m going to be pretty sore for a while………

Please everyone, wear a cycle helmet, and teach your kids to do so. They will not save you from an impact with a HGV, but when your back wheel gives way under a patch of ice or loose gravel, or you’re too slow to uclip your feet at traffic lights, or some ignorant driver cuts you off, forcing you into hedges or ditches and you find yourself stunned but awake lieing on a road. You’ll be thankful for that casing around your head.

Mine has now been compromised, so it’s time to go helmet shopping.

I could cry, honestly I could cry. Life keeps kicking me and I’m fed up with it.
