My right ankle, courtesy of my chain ring, after a horizontal trackstand...
Not weird at all! (it's actually quite pretty in an art-appreciation way)
Remember: Scars are just tattoos with better stories. (I saw that on a t-shirt once)
Is it weird to say that's a really cool looking owie? I would want a scar too. A friend on mine has a large chainring scar on his calf and I'm jealous of it. Does this mean we're sick?
LOL, we can have twin scars. This was my calf last year after a fall

It has faded nicely but makes a very interesting pattern on my leg :-)
"horizontal track stand"
cute
I'm thinking about getting a tattoo to disguise my operation scar (not actually tattooing the scar but incorporate it into a tattoo) so no I don't think a bike related scar especially chain ring like is weird...
It's only weird if you rub ink into it. :cool:
Ouch - looks painful! I think it's weird to want it to scar, but that's probably only because I scar VERY easily and it annoys the heck out of me. :rolleyes:
This will make it easier to find you at LiveStrong ;)
I'm trying to visualize a horizontal rack stand. :confused: :confused: Oh how you could be "bitten" so hard by the chainring.
Was just starting my ride. Stopped to check my rear tire, it was okay so I clipped in with my left foot, was about to push the pedal forward, but for some reason leaned left, fell down and went boom.Quote:

I bet there are internet forums for people into scars, but I don't think you would fit in with that scene! Maybe one for cycling specific scars...;)
a forum for people into scars? hahah thats funny.
no i think this is a sweet design.. if it leaves a scar itd be a bomb scar, or you can always tattoo over it! my friends with scars wait a few years and get a tat to cover em.. but theres are ugly.
i like your scars :)

I have a friend who when he was young, about 3 or 4 y/o he had open heart surgery. Well he wants to get a tattoo over the scar of a railroad track down the center of his chest.Quote:

The scar came from doing an activity you love, that you know going into it comes with risks. The scar tells a story in a subject area you don't mind discussing.
When the scar comes from something you did not really want to chose, then maybe peeps don't want it to show.
I have some surgery scars related to something that happened to my body that I certainly would have not chose to have happen. That, I would rather have covered. It's a painful memory in more ways than one... I don't want to re-hash it (by looking at it, or people asking how I got the scar).
So, in your case... nope, I don't think it's weird to want it stay:cool:.
O U C H ! ! ! ! !
It hurts much less than the bruise on my butt!Quote:
