Thanks. Probably not best to ask her at the end of a shift!

Thanks Allen. It's not in plaster as the fracture was not all the way through the bone, so using a sling and wrist is in a collar. I'm 55 3/4 so not much different. Accident was entirely my own fault, I misjudged the angle going over a low dropped kerb and bike skidded off it.

Thanks. All advice gratefully received. A good night's sleep would be most welcome!

I fell off my (non-electric) bike two days ago. Got a fractured radius bone near my elbow and lot of internal soft tissue damage in my wrist, otherwise in one piece. Main problem is the pain from the soft tissue damage. Has anyone had a similar accident? I'm wondering how long the pain is likely...

I thought this Government were all about cutting red tape and regulation? Why is a Conservative MP even considering introducing yet more regulation? Given that this Government have committed to only introducing more regulation if some other regulation is then repealed I will be interested to...

That's good to know. When I bought my Pro Connect with the Alfine 8-speed I was concerned about having to maintain such a complex mechanism. Even the informative Shimano ALFINE « Hubstripping.com site only served to make it look too complicated.

1. Have you ever fallen off or been knocked off a bicycle? - Yes 2. Did you sustain any injuries, minor or serious? - No 3. Did it make you consider wearing a helmet? - Yes But I have come off motorbikes and sustained injuries and that makes it a big yes for helmets for motorbikes and...

Interesting. Although it has a yellow cord for plugging into electric cars, the other end is a standard 240 volts/13 amp socket into which you could plug an ebike charger. It would, of course, only work if you could plug directly into an on-board charger. Not one near me though unfortunately.

I came across this which, taking it at face value, is the launch of the first common standard for Light Electric Vehicles (including pedelecs). There are some big players behind this including Panasonic and BionX. Maybe this will be the future for pedelecs all sharing compatible systems...

I think I can cope without swallowing a device to monitor my core body temperature when cycling. Do even the top athletes really need this level of data or is it just technology for the sake of it?:rolleyes:
