    Depends whether you are pursuing a personal injury claim 😉

    Edit: similar thing happened to me last year, headache and sore neck passed after a day or two and I was back riding in a week. It was a fairly minor shunt though. May be worth getting some professional advice if you are worried.

    I’d say as soon as you’ve bought a new bike from the payout you’ve claimed for 😉

    when it’s not painful.

    for me (knocked of bike so maybe different) it was ~ 2 months until i could do a proper ride and 6-8 months until i could commute 4 days + ride twice a week as before.

    2 years later and i still have pain if i do certain things for extended periods.

    Isn’t whiplash one of those conditions that’s unique to Britain?
    Like the French suffer from heavy legs, we get whiplash?
    No disrespect to the OP intended though, you might have fractured some vertbrae for all I know about the subject.

    If you have suffered genuine injury then you should claim. If you do claim it helps enormously if you can demonstrate an effect on your activities. Time off the bike counts. Also, whiplash is a strange injury. Do NOT rush back into training.

    I’m more pi$$ off with the time i’ll have to have off the bike than the van TBH. 🙁
