Just after setting off on a bike ride last night i came to a mini roundabout and turned right,the next thing i knew is that i was in the middle of the road with my bike on top of me.One chap stopped his car and helped me to the side where i was greeted by another cyclist apologising because he hadn't seen me coming or he would have warned me as exactly the same thing had just happened to him. Ther must have been some oil or diesel that wasn't visible that made the roundabout like ice to cycles,by hi vis jacket was covered in a black oily type substance. Eventually i carried on but cut short my ride due to leg pain etc. A grazed knee,arm,sore shoulder and a lump the size of an egg just below my knee resulted in a hospital visit and x-ray this morning.Luckily just soft tissue damage to my leg and tendon. I rang the police and it had been sanded when we passed this morning.
Just be careful out there,you never know when something unexpected can happen....and it hurts.
oh and the cycle helmet did its job...just to get the debate going again !
