Mrsmidlife head on collision while commuting :(

I think they’d have crashed even if desperate was to the left, other rider looked to be going diagonally across.

Nah, he’d have had loads of time to see from a wider angle. Or going diagonal to try and avoid the collision!

will be a fair bit of insertion still i imagine

Give Mrsmidlife a chance to get over the crash first though!

I’ve ridden my sister’s lady bike round campsites and they’re well comfy. Always choose her bike to go to the toilet block or shop if it’s around!

@desperatebicycle looks like your fellow crashee was going pretty quick, but why were you on the right hand side of the path?

I wasn’t aware of any etiquette when riding a bicycle on a “no cycling” footpath through a park. I’ve been that way thousands of times and crashed once. It was just one of those things. But you are a better cyclist than me, obvs.

Yeah, by the looks of it, i really am. Thanks.

She shouldn’t really be on a BMX track on that bike…..

Update, just picked this up from eBay, eighteen miles away and £75. One dent on a pedal from a storage mishap but otherwise looks like new. Still has the shop tag sticker on the front brake cable so can’t have seen any rain ever.

I know of another one if you want – in my sister in laws garage, slightly flood damaged but perfectly useable….

Cheers Matt, not today but I’ll bear it in mind if she prangs this one…
