A good outcome to a bad event!

Keep him on the road to recovery.

Glad your boy is doing OK Mr G. I am pleased he went for the Lindt bunny (as I make my living from Messrs Lindt & Sprungli), but not so happy about the Toblerone.

Cheers.

Would have been the Toblerone for me. No plans to repeat our sons escapades to prove that though.

Agreed. Not much any parent can say that he won't have worked out for himself. Marisa, his partner, is a doctor. As is her farther. I think sufficient advice will be forth coming from all sides. But mostly I think the memory of what occurred over this past week will live with him for more than long enough to keep him in check for some time. In the end though I know he is his farther son. So it won't stop him getting back to full speed when body and life permit.

Quick update. Edd saw the specialist today and told his neck has fused properly and he can take his neck brace off. Also told he can now drive again.

What really bugs me is the attitude of local authorities. Their one thought is to avoid paying for the damage their negligence has caused. There is no sympathy for the injured party. Hopefully your son will make a complete recovery.

Sounds like you need Chocolate.
You are right. The problem is we already eat too much chocolate.

who says? Is that possible?

The story has a good outcome but the message is it’s safer on a road, in a car, with or without potholes.

These are the nightmares parents have, relieved that he’s okay and I hope he makes a full recovery, It’s a well known fact that chocolate is a miracle cure for any ailment

I am so glad things have worked out. Cycling is a great activity if it can be done safely. Sadly with the terrible condition of many roads and the high volume of traffic this is rarely the case. If we we want to encourage cycling we need to provide an environment where it is safe to do so.

Nightmares indeed. He is now able to drive my cars until he goes home to NZ.

There is an environment where it’s safe, it’s called holland
