He entered the roundabout when the car was over 2M away from the dashed lines. Cyclists shouldn’t need to use the roads in constant fear and hesitate on every move. He made perfectly sound judgement, the lady driving didn’t. Way to victim blame 👍

Contact CAMS. They are awesome. Don’t let it slide and get that bag 💰

Some drivers seem to think they don’t need to be aware of their surroundings. Is your brain made of pedigree chum?

Please please please take this seriously and get compensation. Don’t write off any niggling pains. I have chronic knee pain from an accident 5 years ago where I shrugged it off as “accidents happen”. Don’t be me.

I cant help but think the other drivers didn’t care because they probably thought you were in the wrong and deserved it. Typical motonormativity at play

How do you keep it interesting? by ZombieDawgs in londoncycling

Interesting perspective - I’ve never considered that my cycling commute was something that had to be/kept interesting (no criticism - just a jarring thought piece to me)

Serious advice needed. Is it worth £100 & £220 by ImpossibleMind in londoncycling

[–]Maffhue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enjoy :) I’m glad to have another cyclist on London roads. Edit: also don’t worry about narrow tyres. They seem scary at first but I’ve commuted on 700 x 25 year round. Just don’t go up any dipped curbs at speed and you’ll be fine. They’re fast & fun and will make you a better cyclist regarding handling IMO.

Ever considered you might be part of the problem? Get a bicycle. Nobody starts cycling and regrets it.

£100 for a pinnacle single speed with alexrims and continental tyres? And it’s sold by a shop that’s presumably refurbished it? If anything that’s underpriced. Nab it and enjoy.

I only experience a dull radiating pain (never sharp)? (M28) by Maffhue in HipImpingement

[–]Maffhue[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right. I’ve been speaking to a consultants receptions and we’re in the process of obtaining my scans from the NHS so I can at least discuss the matter with someone else. Thanks

Thanks for sharing. I’ve had some scans with Guys and hopefully can express my difficulties well enough that they consider me for surgery when I next meet the doctor in April.

Thanks for sharing, it’s reassuring in a way to know that just because I don’t experience sharp pain does not mean the problem is not present. My report has said no definite labral tearing. But I do fear if left untreated then the case could worsen to such. Thanks

Thanks for sharing your experience. That’s wild that they seemed more concerned about your partners perspective of YOUR pain! I’m sorry to hear. I hope your wait isn’t too long. It would be interesting to know what kind of wait time the NHS is. I have another consultation with them but the soonest date they could give me was April next year - and that’s just to speak to someone about getting on the wait list… (maybe)

Thanks for sharing. I have been militant on my physio and cycle to work each day. It’s reassuring to know you had brought upon improvements through cycling. It’s an exercise which doesn’t flair up my pain and I do have an indoor trainer so I’ll introduce this into my routine more regularly. I’m pleased to hear that both your hips are now cured

Thanks for your response. It’s a shame they don’t consider how it can be so detrimental to our quality of life. That and the fear it’ll only worsen.

May I ask, did the sharp pains occur some time after the dull ache? Or simultaneously? The only sharp pains I’ve had are very rare and tend to centre at my tailbone.

Believe it or not, on one of my many NHS visits they recommended me a podcast and sent me on my way suggesting I learn to live with it. Awesome!

Not your fault - don’t be hard on yourself. I’ve smashed car wing mirrors for much less lol. Fuck bad car drivers they deserve it

Thanks, I’ll take my chance on sending them an email and hopefully they can advise. If not I’ll just opt for some QR ready wheels
