I'v...I'm relieved you'll be OK, Steve. I've has similar experiences, but they haven't produced a fall....yet (knock, knock, knock). I think we get complacent from riding the same road so many times. We think we know it intimately, yet there's something out there waiting to produce a fall. In my case, it was a longitudinal crack that I'd crossed safely until the one morning when I didn't. My front wheel dropped into it and (fortunately for me) popped out without causing a loss of control. It's easy to say, but we should NEVER take anything for granted on the road.Ed Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02661476789768156794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-44970658077265237132010-09-29T13:48:46.212-05:002010-09-29T13:48:46.212-05:00Blood thinner makes things look more gruesome than...Blood thinner makes things look more gruesome than otherwise. Actually, it's my shoulder that hurts most and nobody has even considered it worth looking at. What worries me NOW about this durn hospital is they have started getting worried about stuff entirely unrelated to why I'm here in the first place - like they think my resting pulse drops too low at night. Next time someone tells me that, I'll reply that if she gets out of the car and onto a bike, she'd have the same "problem."Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-18228947457073547192010-09-29T12:47:18.910-05:002010-09-29T12:47:18.910-05:00Maybe now you'll consider the Slow Bicycle Mov...Maybe now you'll consider the Slow Bicycle Movement. <br />Style over Speed. <br />Bet that hurts.

In my experience, many falls are that way. I'm told the bike is fine, but I haven't seen it since the event. As long as the wheels are still true, I think other damage is likely to be minor since I went down on my left side and I was making a left turn; offering protection to the drivetrain. I'll use this opportunity to fit the new brakes.<br /><br />Bill, I think the speedy recovery is likely. I expect to do a trial ride tomorrow, though I also think it'll be a couple of weeks before my shoulder will permit longer rides.<br /><br />Rantwick. Thanks, but I'm not a tree yet. My spies are out and about.<br /><br />All, I am staying positive and no bones were broken. It's something that could have happened to anybody, on most any surface. It does not invalidate my basic riding approach, though it does argue against complacency. It also argues against hospital food!Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-65818073299459680572010-09-28T21:31:31.635-05:002010-09-28T21:31:31.635-05:00Steve - Please know that I will accept the changin...Steve - Please know that I will accept the changing colours of your face as a submission to the Autumn Tree Smackdown This special exception is being made because 1)you are laid up and 2) Living in Texas and 3) changing colour in the fall.RANTWICKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394479078513545568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-8374096942636193532010-09-28T21:23:06.775-05:002010-09-28T21:23:06.775-05:00I'm praying for a speedy recovery.I'm praying for a speedy recovery.Bill Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15423811131481565215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-50024852538433853852010-09-28T21:14:46.273-05:002010-09-28T21:14:46.273-05:00Oh no!
