I just wiped out big time on my bicycle.


I must have skidded on my side a few feet and one of my shoes came off. I think that's what happened. I was picking up steam in a four way stop and I think my foot came off the petal. Pretty banged up and pretty sure I'll be bruised up on my right side. My helmet kept me from cracking my head open on the street.


I just laid there for a minute and got help from people passing by.


ow I need a kiss to make it better....

1. I'm so sorry, my dear warrior1...

*smooches*

Feel better soon, OK?

Thank goodness you were wearing your helmet.

<----gentle one for you...

2. Ugh, my sympathies.

I took a nasty spill on a bike back in 1992. It was awful, so I can imagine what you're going through.

3. From a fellow cyclist,

4. Thanks guys

I haven't wiped out in a long time. I forgot how much that hurts.

5. Road rash is the worst.

If there's any part of you that's not painful, please accept this:

6. Here's a gentle hug for you...

Thank goodness you were wearing a helmet!

7. First couple of bruises are starting to show up

One near my right elbow. And a real nasty one on the inside of my right leg above my knee must of been caused by the bike seat. I'm just going to lay back in my recliner and take it easy for the rest of the day.

8. Owie!

Hope that helps.

Glad to hear you wear a helmet. Hope you didn't get road rash on top of it all.

9. Owwww

10. OW OW OW is right

Gentle hugs, a kiss, and a libation of your choice.....may you recover quickly. I suggest arnica cream....it does help heal the bruises!

11. Been there and done that..

More than once....
My last excursion off the bike literally tore the elbow to pieces. I now own a titanium strip with 6 titanium sheetwall screws holding my elbow together. Good times....

12. In the last 16 years,

I've had at least 5 bicycle accidents where I've injured something, including 3 accidents where I severely scraped my back and arm, one accident where the front wheel came off as I was trying to jump over a curb, and one accident where I flipped over and cut a gash in my forehead. So, you have my sympathies.

[hibbing]

13. Sorry, no smooch for you

Hey,
As I compulsive biker myself, wiping out sucks. I'm glad you are relatively okay, and even more glad that you had a brain bucket on. I hope you use this incident to promote helmet use.

Peace

14. Owie!!!!!!

That hurt just reading about it... :hug''

edited to add Ice and heating pad are your friends. Take turns cozying up...

15. It's been a couple of hours

and really starting to feel the pain. Bad bad bruise on my inner left thigh that wraps around my leg to back. That must have been because of the bike seat. I had to straighten it after the fall. The left ankle is also bruised, but it doesn't hurt. My rib and right thigh hurt the most. Sure glad I didn't break my hip.

I'm really thinking now that the chain came off. I had to put it back on before taking off after the fall. It was wedged tight under the sprocket. I normally have it set on the largest sprocket at the wheel.


later,

and thanks

16. Sending healing vibes to you

and hope you feel better fast.

If you have any arnica gel, that is good for bumps and bruises (but not cuts or scrapes).

[warrior1]

17. I ran out of that a while back I'll have to pick up some tomorrow

[Marie Marie]

18. OK you get a kiss but NO tongue.

Sorry to hear about your wipe out. May your OWS feel better soon.
