    Tut tut. I see the crash didn't knock out your tendency to use misplaced apostrophes.

    Crickey Rhys, you sound just like a guy some people were talking about tonight. This guy had recently joined a GIS company and got t-boned on his bike and is in hospital with a broken leg.

    What a coincidence. His name is Rhys too.

    The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.

    It's a small world, and Mr Skid gets around.

    Given the mention of his employer, I'm curious as to what context you heard his name in, though...

    It did pretty much.

    Front wheel is buckled (funnily enough) the right side of the drop bars has the drop point out to the right, rather than back.

    The top tube and down tube have separated from the head tube, and there is a crush in the top tube about 1/3 from the seat tube.

    In short, farked.

    Nothing that can't be repaired with some hose clamps, KenAd It (Knead It), ice block sticks and string. It'd probably have less flex than a Honda after that.

    Oh, did I mention, I think it was a Honda that took me out?
    Oh, the injustice of it all!

    Was it a Honda Jazz? Some bloody AZN cager? Typical.
