traumatic fall
Sorry for the negativity but I need to vent. I’m new to commuter cycling and just had such a scary experience on Sydney Rd in Brunswick. While in the bike lane a Hilux swerved towards me as I suspect he didn’t check his blind spot, I nearly was pushed into a parked car to avoid him. I was so rattled that when I rode right to take the next turn, I went parallel into the tram track and got thrown off my bike about 3 metres and smacked my head hard on the road. Had I not been wearing a helmet or if there had been a car stopped in front of me I would’ve been KO’d or possibly died. Now that I’m home the adrenaline has worn off and the tears have set in. I am so grateful not to be injured but also so angry and upset. Should I go to emergency or just monitor for concussion symptoms?
