Is his bike for sale?
Won't keep him quiet though, plus his post count will go through the roof over the next few weeks. 😉
Take care John, make sure you still take your daily photo. Bruises are always good!

Got first dibs on front wheel and fork! 
Speedy recovery to the man.
Tell him the doc gave me pain-killing suppositories, to help me sleep after breaking a couple of ribs at CyB a few years ago. Worked a treat.
Get well soon JC.
And make sure you don't miss your daily photo! you do realise we are admin-less now.
Lipseal it not just your forum he's going to swamp with shite jokes 😉
TBH John has had a big stack coming for a while after humiliating most of us on his 29er towel rail over the past couple of years.
Heal well John, though I feel reet sorry for the wife as she's going to have a nightmare time with you!
Get well and start thinking about the next ride.
I want to hear how he managed that on a Mukluk.
But get well soon...
Get well soon John,

Looks like he crashed on a smooth path!?!? Best sell up quick sharp - I'll give you a tenner
Can i have his mind?
Get well soon dude....shouldn't take to long.
A swift recovery John, sorry to hear about the crash 🙁 You weren't attempting a panda portrait were you? 😉
..... and someone get a camera to John's bedside, as stuartie_c said gotta make sure he gets his daily photo, he's only got one day to go to complete his one-a-day/365 photo thingy.......

Get well soon mate - looking forward to seeing your photo a day shots of nurses 😉
Healing vibes mate, knackered ribs are not nice.
He was rideing flatties which hadn't done for some time ,guessing were going to have to fabricate him some stabilisers
healing vibes 🙂
Ribs? Ow, been there. Get well soon x
Most importantly was his bike ok?
Sorry to hear that, it hurts, I know. Get well soon.
old blokes on bikes! 🙄
sometimes its the easiest sections of trail when your not concentrating,when crashes can happen... 😕
get well soon.
Sorry to hear that.
Heal soon mate.
Happy New Year

That may explain. The precession effect of a large fat wheel in the air will be somewhat different from a 29er...
Heal Quick John
oh and is it about time you gave up niche bikes for more standard stuff
I hear there are good discounts at halfords at the moment
You won't push that sort of stuff too much !!!!
Back in 2005 John was seen on a mainstream Stumpie

Though due to his diminutive size still looked like a 29er

Get well soon John, hope you're up and smiling soon.
Seeing as you're out of action for a bit can I borrow your Jones?
Or your Niner, not fussy really. 😀
Nice shorts !
I think every time I have ridden with John he has come off.
Last time it was on the Long Mynd and he ended up in A&E then.
He was on his clown bike though.
All the best mate.
They weren't that colour wwhen I bought them - I think I stopped wearing them after that photo!
BTW - I'm only 4'10", so John really is small 😉
Get well soon John
He wasn't on his scaffolding bike at the time, was he?
Many thanks for all your kind thoughts and wishes.
I'll post up more later but I need to rest after spending 3 nights and the New Year in Wrexham hospital. With a 5 to 10 minute concusion, 3 broken ribs and the risk of fluid on the lungs, as well as many bruises.
Bernaard - This was only my 2nd crash that saw me in hospital in over 15 years of riding and Long Mynd was only a cut 😉
Glad you are on the mend - was a pleasant pootle int' Peak a couple of years back....
