- Get well soon mate - were missing your banter!
- My son and I saw the accident and I am horrified at how much damage a car can do, but my only concern is that the cyclist did not have a halmet. I have rung to see if he is OK and can only say after that day I want to stop all cyclists and tell them to wear a helmet. We need to make this a legal requirement like wearing a seatbelt. We need to make people more aware even do not wear a helmet but I have change my mind.
- God I hope you are ok as I can't stop thinking about it. Even my eight year old son wants to know you are ok. I check the web everday to see you progress.
