Tom and I completed the Festive 500 again, not without a bit of drama........

Good effort ... does he ever stop smiling Rich?

Oof. Glad to read he's ok rich.

Top effort too.

Thanks guys.

He's usually smiling, though he was not happy when he had been knocked off. He does a good sweary tirade.

Not often feel like I've been shocked reading stuff like this,
But I was,and so glad the pair of you are good,such a brave
Young man, a credit to you......

I blame Dave

Hope he's OK and not too sore! Tough young lad you've got there.

Well done for getting back up! The pair of you seem to have loads of good adventures.

Hope the police got their hands on the driver.

Good on him, big well done.

Fair play to the Good Samaritan for reining in the nutter in the other car until police got to him.

Motorists these days are one of the reasons I seldom ride on Tarmac (unless it's to link off-road sections)

Well done & i hope MiniPips is ok!

Stunning. Good to see he's on the bike again and going strong.

Should I need an expedition partner I know where to look for in a bunch of years

Hardcore or what . Also very lucky, could have been so much worse.

You both continue to be an inspiration. Even before I'd found this forum recently I had seen your blog. Glad he came away unscathed and you finished the 500.

I got knocked off my bike by a van when I was 15 on the way to work experience, and spent the insurance money on a new bike

A fantastic read and thanks to you both for inspiring others.

Well done young man

Great story. Enjoyed that

Cool Dad and cool kid

Truly inspirational for all parents with kids who ride... although we know our limits; short & social!

Surely it won't be long before you're both renamed "Pips" and "Pips Snr" ?

(Glad to see he's unhurt and not put off riding on the road)

What a lad! He's a tough one

Fair play to you too Rich for taking him out in those weathers

My goodness me. Lucky lad.

Thanks all for your comments.

Update: I now know that the driver is being charged with DUI and leaving the scene.

I suppose a public flogging will be out of the question

I'm really glad there was no serious and permanent harm done. I hope the driver gets what they deserve. In describing what that might be I would only do a "Barter" so won't poison the airwaves

Mini pips gets a mention on Crikey, how much Facebook
