At the end of August, I had a mountain bike accident that caused a broken collarbone, sprained neck, crushed brachial plexus, cuts, bruises and a mild concussion. People told me I should give up riding and I just laughed at them. Eleven weeks after that accident, I had a road bike accident that only caused road rash (bad thing to have on your legs in the wintertime), and a very bad concussion. Now, all my friends, doctors and complete strangers laugh at me and tell me I have fallen on my head one to many times if I get back on a bike. Well, I was on the road bike three days after the accident and I will not give it up. I argued with the physical therapist today because see insist I give up riding and I said NO. What can I say to these people that will make them understand that if you take my bike away, you take my soul away?
