Saw my Consultant - he sent out a proxy this time, who told me that it was indeed a titanium implant in my wrist and they they don't "Usually" remove them anymore... he then went on to mention that screws can break during removal, new fractures could be caused... He said he had no idea why that...

I bought stainless steel knee and elbow pads, but haven' used them as often as Ithought I would and they wouldn't have prevented a broken wrist and titanium implant.

With a banged knee, you go off lightly compared to Jodel https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/unavoidable-bicycle-badger-collision.42374/page-2#post-634213

I'm still very pleased indeed with this bright "1800 LM" 20W LED Motodafish bike light. Because my camera sets video too dim, due to the brightness metering of the centre, I've manually increased exposure by two stops, to better represent the way my eyes see brightness (maybe a stop less...

Is that camera attached to a badger? It's speed looks familar...

Flashbacks and wrist-breakage PTSD were triggered eailer on tonight, when I saw another badger. I'm pretty sure it isn't the same one, it's smaller and didn't cause me any injuries. I still can't reach all the guitar strings, but I'm working on it. The broken hand is darker and redder than...

I know, he just got startled while waiting on the side of the road for a clear way across like a lot of wild animals do. I couldn't see him when I eventually got up in agony with a crunchy feeling wrist. I don't know how far he managed to wander away. We encroach on their paths.

Damn thing won't bend enough to reach all electric guitar strings - but I can now get to four of them instead of two, so that's progress! Bloody painful playing the guitar though, and that hand is a redder and a darker colour than the other one, which worries me about gangarene and having to...

Hey I'll take any sympathy offered ;) Turns out, chicks dig scars... but it hasn't got me laid yet! :( But I also post the video periodically to genuinely warn people about badgers jumping out from bushes directly in front of one's bike wheel, which could conceivably happen I suppose on a long...

BEWARE OF BADGERS! :eek:

I linked 60mm wide mudguards, not 53mm - to be honest, I'm struggling to understand why you ordered 53mm wide mudguards. Which tyres did you change to?

There's definitely less strain on the wrists with a more upright riding position

Depite my recent wrist breakage incident, I was saddened to see this dead badger about an hour ago. No, I don't recognise it. I'll see if the Council will collect this unfortunate animal for safe disposal, BE AWARE OF BADGERS! :(

I'm getting flashbacks it's like 'Nam man, like 'Nam! BEWARE OF BADGERS!!! :eek::eek::eek:

If I can bear the loss of peace and quiet, I might simply try adding a couple of thick zipties to the forks instead, because that particular noise maker adds drag: The product advert -

There's this which might not impact range too much, could inspire ridicule: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Turbospoke-TS004-Exhaust-System/dp/B01DZXE8PG/ Plain version: https://www.amazon.co.uk/EVTSCAN-Muffler-Exhaust-System-Bicycle/dp/B097BS3J48/

That's a good solution! How many packs did you get through a day? Was there a preferred brand? Were the Benson and Hedges packets better than Marlboro, or did they all use the same cardboard and design? Could you discern by noise what brand of fake motorbike was approaching?

I met with the Consultant yesterday and she was very unhappy at the lack of flexibility of my wrist. I asked about wax immersion, and mentioned that my physio had said he'd never heard of it. She said various NHS Trusts have differing treatments, and that this one might not offer wax...

You haven't heard my playing! The badger may well have been panicked into motion far sooner. I can only reach the bottom two strings with my left hand at the moment, I'm working on regaining flexibility to reach the other four. If I can't, I'll have to retrain as a lefty. Now would be a good...

Yes! I've been wanting to wire one of those to my bike ever since my chance meeting with a badger at a mutually inopportune timw. My wrist still hurts like hell a few miles cycling, and I've been avoiding anywhere badgers might be I do need a good quality 36v to 12v converter, but don't know...
