On the 1/7/12 at my wife's suggestion we went out on our bikes for the first time together. Its been 5 months since my accident with only my aborted ride on Miranda in between.
I'm half way through my second set of Physio which has really helped my back and neck but the longest lasting effect of the accident has been to my head.( mentally ).
I keep thinking "What if i'd been left in a wheel chair or brain damaged.
So far we stayed well away from traffic using only country lanes and coastal path. We covered 7.5 miles first time out with another 7 and a 5 mid week. I spend most of my time worried about my "Very special lady friend" which keeps my mind from worrying about what I'm doing. although with an average speed of around 5mph I'm more in danger of losing my balance than anything !!!
Any way so far so good. using the Mudy fox at the moment , Although its still needs abit of work after the accident and using the team liquigas helmet which just looks stupid when dressed casually. I'll be getting a Bell helmet soon if I'm going to take to the cycling again. Twice now I've had Biggish accidents on the bike and both times the helmet has taken a battering but done its job so Iin Bell I trust I Trust.
