fingers crossed all is well. initial reports i had led me to believe things were going to be very bad. but, ya know what the rumour mill's like...and peoples idea of a biker going flat out... people used to say to me "saw ya today, going up the road on the back wheel doing about 100mph"................utter shite, was usually about 60mph! lol.

Even better news hes out of hospital now and back home still very sore had an uncomfortable first night but hes doing ok!

There are some rules that are pretty important for cyclists to follow, and unfortunately a lack of education (at least where I'm living in Cincinnati) means that there are adults riding their bikes on the sidewalks, or going the wrong way down one way streets - even cops on bikes do this!

I hope the car driver has plenty of sleepless nights and has the book thrown at them for this
