I sold my bike after my crash
Hi mate, sorry to hear you are still not feeling great.
I can relate to this......
I had a nasty cycle crash in may last year, came round a corner a guy was parked in the cycle lane, and I took a trip head first through the rear window....that was fun.
I was wearing a helmet, but it flipped up and so my head took most of the impact. Fractured skull, broken nose few other cuts and scrapes, massive scar on my forehead ! I'm 'ok' still dizzy and have brain fog and muscle twitching in lower legs. I thank god, it could of been such worse.
I had a specialized Allez bike, and I sold it after it sitting for months in my garage. I didn't sell it for the money, I asked my self a simple question, can I take the risk of hitting my head like that again, no way. So that settled it for me
I appreciate other sports are dangerous, and I could trip over tomorrow and whack my head again, but I don't want to add to the risk. I also didn't think it would be fair on my wife and young children, perhaps a bit selfish even ? Not sure, anyway......
I do still cycle to work, on my wife's bike, wearing a full face helmet !
Dont stress it mate, take your time and think about it.
Take it easy.
