ow!

18:30 on wednesday, august 19th, on my way cycling home. i was relaxing on my bike whilst going at high speed. i hit a bump in the road or leaned over to one side too much and the bike started to snake violently. by the time i'd gain control of my bike, there was nothing i could do to prevent the fracturing of my wrist bone against the wing mirror and door of a parked car, throwing me into the air, landing shoulder first into the car in front of, badly fracturing my shoulder. i would of fractured my skull if it wasn't for my helmet. i don't care if helmets aren't 'cool' or make my hair go funny. one saved my life and that's far more important.



my bike isn't that bad though. seems like i took most of the impact. my bank card is fucked though and so are all my other cards. my glasses some how survived though. no idea how that happened.
i always thought a high speed crash would feel like it was happening in slow motion. it was the opposite. fast and hard. something i will do my very to avoid again in the future.
this may sound weird but i can't wait to get back onto my bike.
