Father-of-two Raymond Richford, from Loanhead, Midlothian, was cycling on the A6094 Hawgate to Leadburn Road on the outskirts of Edinburgh when the lorry struck him and ran over his chest.
The 44-year-old, who works as a senior IT manager, spent 51 days in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary after suffering a crushed left lung, paralysed vocal cords, 17 fractured ribs, two broken shoulder blades and serious injuries to his arms and shoulders.
