Ouch, that hurt,,,still does!

Don't know how the hell this happened today...
Put some new tyres on my bike (Maxxlite) and went out for a spin with my mate. Still on the road we went spinning down a hill, to turn left near the bottom. Now we were going at a pace....somehow I managed to 'high-side'...don't really know what happened.
According to my mate a somersaulted three times, with the bike still firmly attached. Don't know how many times I hit the road...but hit it hard enough with my head to crack my helmet... :shock:
Came down real hard on my shoulder/back. Gravel rash everywhere, elbows, back, shoulder etc.
Off to hospital and somehow no broken bones.
Ache plenty though. And my Retrobike shirt was cut off.

I never cycle without a helmet.....thank god...it could have been very very nasty.

Oh, no damage to the bike

flippin eck. sorry to hear that but glad you're pretty much ok! thank god for helmets.

Seen too many broken helmets recently, anyone that rides without one - on or off road is a fool.

Glad it wasnt too nasty on your fall, take it easy and get well soon.

sorry to hear about your accident

Hi mate
Sorry to hear about this, but at least youve nothing broken. Could have been a lot worse.
Easy does it for a while.

On the plus side, my mrs who is pretty handy with a sewing machine, has
given my retrobike shirt a full zip..only it says retrbike now
