dude ... he fell of his bike, why would he be walking like john wayne ? god knows what happens to you when you fall off but it sounds like you get rode by a horse or something.
i feel off on sat and landed on my head ... could have easily knocked myself out yet i have no bruises or cuts and i certainly did not end up walking like john wayne, and if i had off knocked myself out i defo would not have been calling an ambulance, whats the point once your awake ? and you cant call one while your out !
if you ask me this sort of thing happens often, ppl helping at roadside crashes have their cars nicked, old grannys get battered in their own homes for pitance, this country is full of leaching scum, you could try giving the guy some support rather than blatently calling him a liar.

The thief didn't even call the emergency services after taking it... which again makes me really want to think that its a scam.[/q

Please don't use capitals, IT IS INCREDIBLY RUDE AND OBNOXIOUS.
Yeah, shit happens everyday mate - we realise that, we're not a bunch of village idiots. Everyone is just stating their opinion, no need to get hot and bothered about it.
Also, I'd like to point out that the incidents you mention are in a completely different league to what is going here.
PS: Since when did sh** get converted to shoot? 0 -

I came off badly this summer. Broken jaw and 16 stitches in the chin. I picked myself up and was about to give it 5 mins and then ride slowly home. A good samaritan persuaded me I needed to go to hospital, put down the roof of his convertible BMW and put the bike on the back seat and took me, round the corner to Kingston Hospital.
There are some good guys out there.0 -

i would have done the same, i cant even ride past an injured pigeon with out my ride being over untill i have got it some help or taken it home, i just cant understand why ppl would accuse the guy of lying, i feel bad for him, but hey you only have to see the amount of locks on my bikes/shed to see that i have no faith in human nature,0 -
Why would you report such a thing to the local papers if it was a scam?0
-
another way of looking at it, It looks like it is an obvious scam, so obviously it isn't, lets at least give him benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.0

It was a bit tongue in cheek, Oh the walking thing is when the bike spun sideways and ended up with the saddle pointing at right angles to the frame.
Seriously if you knock yourself out you should get checked over and not drive or operate heavy machinery etc.. straight after. Do you know anything about head trauma? If someone is knocked out at all, then it is classed as severe until proved otherwise usualy by being kept an eye on for 12-24 hours and not showing symtoms.. The reason you are knocked out is because the brain has sustained trauma, risk of internal bruising, swelling, bleeding or fluid build up are very much there and not taking it seriously is quite dangerous and driving when you could pass out is really dumb.-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:0 -
Yes - I ride around there quite often (weekly). I never see any chavs or junkies.sickboy687 wrote:ahhh the Malverns ... immune to crime and nasty ppl ! no Chavs No Junkies

I know someone who did actually fall hard enough to concuss themselves when riding the Malverns . They were found wandering on the hills with no memory of the last two days, and the nice friendly people who found him on the hills looked after him, while a separate group found their bike and gave it back. (BTW their helmet was smashed to bits too).
I also know of someone who lost their wallet on the Malverns and had it returned to them about a year later when it was found and handed in to the police.
It's true I tell you - we are all lovely cuddly friendly people here. The bad people are too lazy to walk up the hills as a rule.0
