Dogs are property, and you might have been able to file a personal injury claim against the owner. Someone I know won about £10,000 from a driver who drove over his foot (broken). Sorry to hear about your chemotherapy. Are you clear of it now? I've applied another huge glob of ibuprofen to...

Vaccines made me irresistible to badgers. Badgers not listed as ADRs

I've just ordered this "20W 1800LM" light, to replace one of broken lights on the handlebar. I might try lifting my bike up the stairs to my workshop-like area for a proper inspection, in a week or two. I need my left wrist sufficiently healed, so I can hold onto the bannister while the bike's...

Whose dog was it anyway, and why wasn't it on a lead? How did they resolve your compressed spine problem(s)? Did you have to have spinal traction? What state is your back in now? I wonder if more bike collisions with dogs happened on roads, before owners were required to keep them on a lead.

The Tripadvisor page for "Badger Bicycle Collision", will get a zero star review

£400+ is not nothing. I'm sorry to hear of your battery's early demise - was there not any way to revive or salvage it? Have you thrown it away?

Thank you for that information, I'll plot a little graph/get Excel or something to fit a curve.

I've been avoiding looking at my bike... I'm surprised at the breakages of light clamps and headlight. The handlebar must have hit the ground with more force than it had in other collisions, maybe from a height after riding up over the badger like it was a fleshy bump on the road. I really...

That'd eat my other wrist :eek:

I still can't move the bike with one hand... but so far: Two torch handbar clamps broken and one Bafang headlight smashed. The good news (?) is that there's plenty of time before I can ride again (2 months), to receive new parts from China. I'll have to wait a week or several to properly...

I might have several 12V DC computer case fans I could connect together to run it down, and a fuse. But if 39.6V is fine for a couple of months, I'll leave it as is. I'll keep and eye on it - I may charge the battery when it hits 36V, then run it down a bit with either something like...

Thank you - so is the voltage 36V at 50%? How does one work it out? I've just double checked and I had misread the display (I can't move the bike one handed, and it's at a weird angle in the hallway) and it's actually 39.6V. I'm keeping the display on but the voltage isn't reducing at all...

That's a really good idea! Are those 12V halogen bulbs?

I'd be nervous of snow badgers!

I've just switched my bike on for the first time since the badger dived at my front wheel, and it's showing 39.2V - it's been almost 6 weeks, should I run the battery down to store? I've been told I can't cycle for another couple of months. What's the best way to run the battery down? It's a...

I think the new meshes used for hernia repair are titanised ePTFE: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4113678/ Titanised to reduce immune system rejection/inflammation. I don't believe any metal implanted in the body is inert. They use pure titanium in dental implants, rather than...

Does the Office of Narional Statistics collect data about bicycle collisions with badgers? I searched in vain, but found an interesting report which said that 40% of all bikes stolen had D-locks or chains.

It's safe to say, that I will never use that route home again!

I suppose one silver object can be mistaken for another silverish object. It's crazy that they don't know! I'll have to get my medical records - the Radiologist said he saw the purchase order and that it was for "A very expensive titanium plate". He'd had an interest because he'd broken his...
