A MESSAGE FROM A YOUNG LADY WHO WAS HIT BY A CAR, PLEASE READ AND TAKE NOTE !

May 27 at 8:17am ·.. Facebook post- edited

I'm not much of a status gal but I feel I have a message for all bike riders. On Thursday I was riding the 8 minute cycle from work as I do every day. A car coming in the opposite direction didn't see me and turned right, hitting me. I went over the bonnet and landed on the road on the other size, head first. I can't even describe how hard my head hit the ground because it's like nothing I've experienced before. The thing that has meant that I could walk away with only minor concussion and bruising was my HELMET!!!! There was absolutely nothing I could have done to prevent this from happening, it wasn't even a major road. I was a minute away from my house. Yesterday I took a stroll and my eyes are open to something I haven't noticed before. About 3/5 people, not wearing bike helmets. Our heads and brains are so so fragile, it's not worth it. I am certain that my story would be a different one if I wasn't wearing my helmet. PLEASE MAKE WEARING YOUR HELMET A LIFETIME HABIT. It could save your life too!!!!!!

Join us for one of our Bostin’ sportive cycling events, riding through wonderful countryside, following fully-signposted routes with well-stocked feed stations, emergency support and a great atmosphere!

All of our cycling events have routes that are are fully-signposted which allows you concentrate less on where you are going and more on the outstanding scenery that we try and build into all our routes and, with us being cyclists ourselves, we like to think that we understand what riders want when taking part in a cycling sportive; quiet roads, great routes, outstanding scenery, fabulous support, welcoming feed-stations and above all a friendly atmosphere.

All of our cycle sportives are British Cycling registered (you do not have to be a member of British Cycling to enter) and accordingly are operated to the highest standards of care and professionalism.
