Rider Down
I cringe each time I see a thread here about a rider colliding with a car. This morning I went for a ride about 5:30 and early on while doing the back streets around Parramatta I arrived at the scene of a rider down at a roundabout. He had been hit in the middle of the roundabout and landed in the gutter about 15m away.
His name is Tom and he was heading to work at Homebush. While he was banged up pretty bad and appears to have lower back injuries amongst others he was in good spirits for someone bashed up. The Ambulance team were great. Good luck with your recovery Tom!

I can't believe how many collisions I read about!
Get well soon Tom!!!!
luckily he only got cuts & bruises on the Esplenade at Spears Point
Not another hit and run, I hope?
No Hawkeye, not a hit & run.
Get well all, NEVER trust the car

Me thinks too much tequila...
nope, just think at 6am the road riders need to be very careful riding with traffic behind driving into sun. its amazing how many near misses and not more horrible stuff.
