I forgot about checking my house insurance legal cover. Thanks cosybike.

Thanks RobF. I understand.

Again. Massive thanks for your comments. I've taken everything you've said on board. I just wanted to let you all know how helpful you've been. Flecc. I read about that incident on the BBC website. Tragic accident. I often see hooligans flying along the pavement at break neck speed. What you...

Thanks Phill. I've seen quite a few cyclists riding around Central London with 2 very large hub motors in each wheel on a full suspension frame. Incredible warp-speed-like performance. Didn't spot a number plate, nor any form of registration. I guess it's up to the policeman's discretion if your...

9month old has a temperature :( just given him some Calpol I've always wanted to shoot one of these pictures. Make it look like it was just after the accident. There was an old BMW 5 series near us. With half stuck in a tree and the rest embedded in the embankment. God knows how the driver got...

I'd probably get done for that too :( Apologies folks for not using the 'reply with quote' option. I'm not quite with it.

I just let out the biggest sigh of relief. I know it's not over till it's over, but what you said makes sense. I'm no legal expert (which is why out of desperation I posted my problem on a public forum). Perhaps i'll sleep a little better tonight than i have done since the accident. Massive...

Now that is some setup. I'd feel like I was competing in the Redbull City Downhill Championship every time i left the house. Not sure what everyone would make of seeing me cruising around looking like that. Speaking of have you seen the GoPro video Combing Valparaiso's Hills on YouTube.

It may be time to hang up my cycling shoes. Atleast pedestrians can hear a 50cc scooter coming down the road :(

The last time i went to the CAB they didn't even know about the regs and clauses i was quoting. But still worth a trip. Even if it's so I feel like i'm doing something. Again. All valid points soundwave. No breath test. Just had a look at the ambulance report form and no mention why i wasn't...

That is also very true. Thanks soundwave.

I think it's worth a trip to the Citizens Advice Bureau. I just don't like the feeling of walking into something with my pants down.

That is also very good advice. Thank you Alan

Silly me. BUT. I've never sold anything at a car boot sale. Wouldn't i need to register a plot and pay a fee. Again. I've got Columbo staring me down. (This next bit is making even less sense as i type this as I've never had to register my details as a buyer at a car boot). That's the whole...

Years of watching Columbo and other crime related dramas has messed me up a bit. With the likes of eBay, Gumtree and even Loot or a local paper, there's a paper trail. How do you convince Columbo you sold it to a guy but don't have contact details, email, phone number and can't remember what he...

That is also very good advice that the bike is consistent with the accident report. A friend of mine suggested I remove the BBS02 and fit a BBS01 250W. The only issue would be if photos were taken of my bike without my knowledge while i was in the ambulance. Thanks cwah.

Thanks RobF. The bike is in the shed. Mrs says I should remove the Bafang and refit the Shimano Hollowtech triple cranks and wait for a visit. Your post has made me feel a bit better. I'm looking at all options, perhaps getting some kind of legal representation and stumbled upon this site...

Unfortunately the letter doesn't say. I agree it could be about the legality of the bike.

Thanks paul20v. I wish I'd copied the video files from my action camera from the day before. This is precisely why I bought the bloody thing in the first place, to cover my arse in situations like this. It's unfortunate, but in the eyes of the law I am guilty until proven innocent. I will seek...

Cwah. I wish the Police dealt with me that way. Unfortunately while i was in the ambulance the Police had enough time to check my bike out. The policeman was quite nice and noticed I had hydraulic brakes. It seems crazy the circumstances of your collision were much worse than mine and yet i am...
