M7 Cycleway Accident Tuesday
Postby Alycat » Tue Nov 26, 2013 2:00 pm
We called triple 0 and an ambulance turned up. They neck braced him and took him to Westmead hospital.
Our thoughts are with him.

I nearly stacked on Saturday when I managed to get unclipped. New cleats today.

Oh, that doesn't sound too good at all. Never a good idea to consult Dr Google.TimW wrote:Mike did mention the fact he had tingling and pins and needles, hope the tests work out.

and a reminder to keep all your gear in tip top shape, esp if riding hard.
many riders wear their cleats down too far, and don't check cleat screws for tightness. these are screws definitely worth consideration of loctite.

Frank still has swelling at the front of his neck but no spinal breaks. As well as breaking his nose, he has also broken a small bone in his hand. He still has a cervical collar on and this is for 2 weeks. He may be going home tomorrow. Tim

i think my speedplays caused a crash for me a while back.The 2nd Womble wrote:Heard about a few incidents like this lately. Is there any particular pedal system that seems to be letting riders down at the moment?
Hope the poor bugger recovers quickly.
long ride, standing up on the pedal to rearrange myself and foot came out. must have twisted foot around too much. As much as i love those pedals, at times the extra movt and wobble in them doesnt inspire confidence....
glad the ol' fella's ok

I've had this once or twice when I got out of the saddle. Caught it each time OK but kinda scary too. Keep thinking of the chain ring tattoo on the side of the legscotto wrote:i think my speedplays caused a crash for me a while back.

i keep thinking of the grazes on my left leg, and the bruise on my right thigh where it cracked the top tube as i came down on it. and the $300 repair job....NhiTrac wrote:I've had this once or twice when I got out of the saddle.
