Concussion....

Apparently I am concussed.

I would like to thank the chav f*cker that pulled the metal fences down on the purdown cyclepath, just after a blind corner.

How lovely it was to be smacked in the face by a steel fence post that had been pulled down to head height and left.

As to the MTB rider who quietly rode by as I lay on my side with blood pouring from my nose and mouth....words fail me, you must be a student to be that engrossed in your own little world.

    Jeez, sounds nasty, GWS! Poor show by the MTB rider, but was he an MTBer or just a bloke on a bike? Any time I've seen anyone injured on the trails people have always stopped to help.

    Does concussion make you you see double?

    Just a bloke on an MTB, heading to the University I should guess...

    Fortunately, concussion, gives you x-ray vision - so, I am staring at the tall hot blond across my office with my mouth open and dribbling....I have a good excuse for it today, head injury.

    On other days, I have to make something up.....

    :-)

    I pushed the fence back up as best I could, washed off the blood in the rain. I think I hit it at reasonable pace, maybe 20mph....?!

    Cheers all :-)

    Wow, what an umbelievably vicious mindless piece of vandalism - that could have been SO much worse.

    Glad you're not permanently injured Jeff, take care of yourself.

    You can see her bones? Phwoar!

    Maybe report the fencepost to the council or whoever looks after the cyclepath, in case it happens to someone else?

    Good plan, my man. I will do - May phone the contractor that is building houses with the perimeter of that fence too!

    Fuck me - glad you're ok.

    Perhaps the guy on the MTB was SCR'ing you and finally scented a chance to overtake? Is there a rule about stopping for serious injury :shock:

    Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.
