Hit the center poll on the trailI just finished a ride and was about a block from home. I just got distracted and paid the price. The bicycle is fine and I just ended up with some scrapes and a bruised ego.
Incident type: Crash
Any incident where a cyclist comes off their bike or collides with another party or object.
Got hit on my bike when I was riding through a Metro Park. Driver said the sun was in his eye. I was going Strait down the road and he made a left turn right into me.
I was riding home from work and was approaching an intersection. I see the vehicle that hit me looking to turn right and look in my general direction. I looked at them and I thought they looked at me. I guess not and when I was right at their bumper, they decided to make the turn. The rest is in the video. I was fine and the bike got away with minor damage. The driver was very apologetic and cooperative. It was an accident and I’m glad it wasn’t that bad.
Lost it going round a traffic circle
Touch of wheels at 36kph.
Coming out from a red light and did a normal turn but the road is slippery wet road
My first hit and run after nearly 22,000 miles (34,857km) of cycling tracked on Strava. At first I thought he’d just slipped the clutch, but no, he drove in to me deliberately and with purpose. He then reversed and drove off. Glad I had my Cycliq Fly6.
Miraculously I only suffered a sprained wrist and a sprained ankle and a bit of road rash on my knee. The Dura Ace C50 R9000 is buckled. The Dura Ace R9100 derailleur was bent. The GP5000 tyre is now scrap. The frame appears to have taken it without damage but I’d like to get it professionally inspected.
The car appears to have no MOT and is therefore not insured. The MOT expired on the 25th February 2020.
Incident happened a minute or so before I arrived – no injuries, amazingly …
