bad luck - glad it wasn't worse, and glad the bike has survived. How did the collision happen? I haven't been able to ride my bike, or jog or take any exercise for over a month. My plans to cycle to Paris and back had to be scrapped and I went by train. My physio told me this week that the problem I have is tarsal tunnel syndrome - it's the same thing that I thought was gout last year when it coincided with a kidney stone (gout and kidney stones have the same root cause). Anyway, now that we know what it is it can be treated properly and I can take steps (literally) to avoid a repetition, and the physio treatment is improving it.
