oh my!!! When they crash and continue riding all bloody and bruised and road-rashed, it makes me cringe. I'm a wuss, because it it were me- I'd be crying like a little sissy girl on the side of the road. I guess that's why they're pros.

Oh hell... that's nothing... my shoulder looked like that... but the worst was the entire side of my FACE on the left being taken off like that in my dog century crash last Fall... yea... I still got sand coming outta my face now 10mos later
And wtf... I'm not even a pro... just humble lil first time century rider... I wanted to keep riding... but my eye swelling shut just really put a damper on seeing traffic... so then I decided to sit beside the road... and cry in the ER later... at least when you crash like a pro you got a team army to take care of you

It happened to me a couple years ago...10 miles from home - with no one to call...left side arm, hip, leg. That's when I learned to get on the bike and keep pedaling...ya' do what ya' gotta do...but I haven't wrecked since

There's a little girl who rides her bike up and down the road in front of my house. I heard, but didn't see, this conversation just the other day.
When I was ten I was riding with my sister to our aunt's house. My sister was ahead, I fell, and she didn't even know I was missing.
She circled back, I said I'm OK but actually I had a badly sprained ankle, horrible black eye and a concussion.
(the people in the ER thought my mom beat me
should have told them no only my father does that)
She called my mom from our aunt's house. Mom walked to where I was and rode me back. She stood and pedaled while I sat on the seat. She was tough too.2008 Trek FX 7.2/Terry Cite X

Wow... Ted King really started a trend with his Mother's Day Giro showing his bum to the world idea.

I do at least appreciate that his face shows that it hurts. There are some people who SMILE after showing the world an injury like that.
