Last week I posted here the aftermath of my bike after getting run over. An event which had me very irritated. No details left, a bike that had been bought a month prior, and I bike that had felt amazing to ride.

I went to my local councils security team to see if they captured CCTV footage of the incident, a job I thought the police would carry out given the fact that they are the police... The council did dig up footage and requested that I inform the police to collect the surveillance, which I have done, unfortunately the security team have not shown the footage to me.

Then the bike shop, Ride On is an Exeter based bicycle charity, they take in old bikes, fix them up, and put them back into the community. The team is great and I've been a loyal customer for a while, they offer workshops, usage of they're tools and assistance in trouble shooting free of charge. When I brought the wreckage in, the guy (who had initially sold me the bike) had said it'll be covered by warranty (at the time I was thrilled but also didn't fully believe this to be the case) It sadly but understandable was not covered. They did however inspect the bike, found the frame had a 5mm misalignment as well as other issues. They said they could get the bike to a ridable state (not a trust worthy one, being aluminum frame would mean a high chance of micro fractures). Now the bike has had the needed repairs to get it back on the road and they only asked for the cost of replacement parts, no labour cost, which came to £68. This will have me going to work while I wait for the police to hopefully find who did this and get me back the cost of the bike.

Thank you all so much for the messages of support in my last post, a massive thank you to Ride On. And an obligatory ACAB and a 'fuck you' to who ever put me into this mess.
