I saw a rider come down at the bell tower 2 saturday's ago, perhaps that was the guy.

riding a specialized roubaix, hit one of those plastic lane divider things and went down hard.

His tyre exploded as i was lifting his bike to the side of the road, that scared the bejeezus out of me. :shock:

Good on yah sassys.

I'm told that's the one. A break and some lacerations and a fair bit of blood flow. He got first aid and then taken to hospital.

They had another injured cyclists a couple of months back - broken ankle from memory. Also needed a trip to the hospital.

As appreciation I believe the earlier one gave Sassys a more comprehensive first aid box. With the way you guys keep punishing yourselves it looks like it gets a bit of use.
