I got a bit of SMIDSY yesterday on the way home.

Fulll report on my own site but essentially I got slam-dunked by a passenger door being flung open. No time to even think about it before I hit the door and then the deck.

Bit sore but was back on the bike and commuting again this morning . 8)

Impressive looking swelling came up on my shin but this has gone down now

    Ouch, that's painful. 'Dooring' is a big issue, had a near miss myself recently and the driver had a go at me - wtf?!?!

    See the following US site on the subject - http://anti-dooring.org/
