Almost Three Months.... ahhh.

This is now quite old news, but I didn't really want to blog about it until it'd all come to a resolution. Well, now it has.

Almost three months ago I was involved in an accident on my push bike. Basically a guy in a car pulled out in front of me, and there was no way I could avoid a smash. I was a bit hurt, but not badly; no lasting injuries. Thank God. It could have been a million times worse.


Anyway, the long and short of it is that the insurance company eventually paid me to replace my bike (the old one was a write-off). And now, finally, I've got my new, shiny, fast pushy. It's proving a really fun bike to ride. Although there have been months of inconvenience I'm really thankful that now, again, I've got a bike that I really enjoy riding.

Riding on Sydney roads... Now there's a topic we could talk about some time ;)

I really don't understand the human fascination with roads and going places in or on metal things. Just stay at home and sleep in a patch of sun, for crying out loud! Glad you're ok though, Bernie.

Thanks Pabs.

I could lend you my bike if you get curious enough about the travel-in-metal-things fascination ;)

Bernie fought the evil insurance co and was victorious. How many phone calls did you have to make to get your new bike?
