Ouch.

Blacked out slightly and cant fully remember reasons or details but was a narrowing in ******** (Central London) area and was in no fit state to cycle home afterwards.

Claret all over the place but luckily no lasting damage/broken bones after a night in A&E.

Pretty sure was clipped by a car as very familiar with the route and I was able to remember exactly where it happened the next day.

So, what to do? Report it to the Police and hope it was caught on CCTV? Then hear nothing and wait for nothing to happen?

Do nothing and not be surprised when nothing happens?

Shrug and be grateful?

last option - MTFU? smile

That sounds painful! Good to hear there is no permanent damage, you must be badly shaken. As it was central london I would be inclined to report it given the likely CCTV coverage but as you say don't expect too much response.

Hope you are back on the road soon.

You sure you didn't try and put your foot down whilst still clipped in wink I've still got the scar... Glad you're OK

Definitely not clipped in!

Still a blank to be honest apart from the swollen left eye socket! - which is a blank if you see what I mean!

Report it - unless you did it by yourself then there is someone out there who knocked you off and didn't stop.
