A) Is it shouting "FUC# IT!!!" Whilst picking oneself up and exclaiming, "BOLLOC#S that's fuc#ed it!" when inspecting at the damage and attending to the unbuckling of the bicycle. And trying to lose anyone making a fuss.
B) Accept help and lay on the pain and lap up the attention you are getting and even suggest an unnecessary ambulance. .
C) Bowing to all who were entertained and stagger off shaking and confused.
D) Telling everyone its all just fine whilst buckled and busted hobble off into the shadows to hide your shame apologising to all who suffered the indignity of it and limp off quietly with no fuss and nonsense.

How would you have dealt with it?
Slightly shaken and stirred and had to use A) muffett1 thankyou.

Both my legs are only hurting like he11
*hobbles off to make a tea because no-one else is here to help* ......But don't worry dears no need to fuss Maureen she is a big girl now.
I wanted to use C) Mr Violator in a word.

I think C) would have been cool and I will try to use this before getting angry if I am unfortunate enough again.
Better still Maggie that would would have been top class
 
I'm writing from the States (notice the capitalization) and ready to dodge rotten fruit, etc.

However, if you're unlucky enough to crash, there is a way to handle to the commotion that probably will ensue.

Thank everyone for their concern, laugh at your misfortune and resume when possible.

If you were less lucky and were bleeding or had a broken bone, the "kindness of strangers" is something you may have to rely on. We hope they won't be those "chavs" we've been hearing so much about. And remember, if at all possible, avoid inadvertently getting your blood on other people.

If indeed you must rely on the "kindness of strangers," make sure your thank them, profusely.

Now of course, here in the States, the victim would then promptly cycle to the nearest lawyer's and introduce himself to Mr. Litigation.....trust me, even on 133rd street in Harlem there are lawyers waiting.
