Finally did it, but my body didn't appreciate it

Ouch! That looks bad. I hope you recover quickly!

Thank you, ladies! I'm getting quite the ribbing at work; they all know I ride so they think it's funny that I was the one to fall. The old lady that "inspired" me to ride over the bridge called last night to gloat. "The person that yelled at me for not being safe fell!":rolleyes: Yeah, well at least I was as safe as possible in doing so. I'm glad it's over with, I knew it'd happen at some point. I will definitely be more careful around train tracks now! And I'm also looking into trading in the mountain bike for a hybrid. Something with wider tires than the Dolce, but less weight than the Hardrock. I can see myself getting more use out of something like that than the pure mountain bike. In the meantime, my baby's in the bike shop getting checked on. Other than the cover popping off my brake lever and my chain coming off, there only seemed to be cosmetic damage. I just wanted to make sure and have the pros check it over. When I told them what happened, one of the techs actually guessed which bridge. I guess a few people have wiped out there recently:eek:

I am sorry to hear about your fall. It will happen to all of us! Hope you wrist heals quickly so you can get back on the road!

Wish I could bike to work..physically I'll be able to do it one day but I work for the City of NY and there is a city wide employee rule of no bikes inside at all. I will not leave my bike outside chained to a fence as some others are doing now..my bike is too new to be left for 'The Criminal'!!

Oh OW!
But it has to get easier and better from here!!
