    Need help with a valuation!!

    Hello everyone, I don't know if you recall, but a couple of months ago I was involved in an accident, where a large 4x4 hit me from behind- throwing me to the ground, and rendering my bike unusable. The insurance company involved have been very understanding, but now need a full quote to...

    Knocked off my bike this morning- Write off?? Advice?? Fault??

    Ok, Eddie my dear, I called the police on 101 first thing. I then went to the local police station to fill out a form and statement. This will be submitted tomorrow AM together with the medical report. I don't see what the police has to do with the damage to my bike- generally the police will...

    Knocked off my bike this morning- Write off?? Advice?? Fault??

    Ok everyone. Firstly thanks a million for all the kind words and sage advice. Secondly, I have been in touch with my GP as pain in my ankles and wrists was beginning to develop, as well as a sore back. She tells me that there is nothing to worry about; just to rest up, and she also...

    Knocked off my bike this morning- Write off?? Advice?? Fault??

    You're right there, I actually have booked a GP appointment for tonight; as the day goes on I'm feeling sorer and sorer... I spoke to the woman on the phone, and she can't understand how a "small bump" can cause so much damage blah blah.... I said "lady, you hit a bike with a 3 tonne car-...

    Knocked off my bike this morning- Write off?? Advice?? Fault??

    I got her details, sure- and took a picture of her car just for the sake of it. What happens from here on is dependent on her insurance I suspect, I just need someone to certify that the bike is indeed a write off.

    Knocked off my bike this morning- Write off?? Advice?? Fault??

    I agree on this one, my car insurance has rocketed in the past few years due to these type of claims. That being said, my bike is damaged, and like you said, I don't need to suffer due to her concentration lapse (mobile/make-up/ipod/radio etc.)

    Knocked off my bike this morning- Write off?? Advice?? Fault??

    Okay, so I will take my bike in to be looked at- a hugh pain as I cycle to work every day... What type of cost are we looking at to replace frame, wheels, etc? Also about the whiplash- I was so shaken when it occured, I couldn't feel a thing! It didn't make sense to me that I had fallen...

    Knocked off my bike this morning- Write off?? Advice?? Fault??

    I suspect it does- it just looks wrong, perhaps buckled slightly. In any case, I'm worried about the future. I know in the case of car accidents, they advise replacing child car seats and the like, as the integrity of the structure may have been compromised, albeit not noticeably. Likewise with...

    Hey all! Kalkhoff Agattu 8speed 18Ah. I'm beaming that I'm still here to be able to type this... I was waiting by a give-way this morning, when a giant, 3 liter BMW 4x4 went smack into the back of me, sending me flying into a main road. The driver (f) was extremely apologetic, however...

    Look Ma! I made it myself...!

    Hey everyone... Basically, I didn't want my battery to stand out- firstly b/c of thieves, (I can't always carry myu battery around with me,) and secondly I don't want everyone seeing that my bike is an electric one... ...So, I produced the below bag. It's a regular Lee Cooper bag, (tenner...

    I've been using a Magnum Plus chain bike lock- it's heavy alright, but once you start using the power assist it really is a drop in the ocean- lose half a pound and you'll be back in eqilibrium :-) Also- I wrap mine round the seat post, tight enough so that it doesn't rattle and I really don't...
