Definitely some good info there thanks Eden. Thanks TE friends for all the well wishes...he just got home from the hospital today, will be over 2 months before he can even THINK about getting back on the bike. But thankfully, not feeling much pain or side effects from anything.

He's not young, but definitely very low body fat, which might have made the fall worse, no cushioning there at all. Me on the other hand, ha ha. He thinks he held his breath when he fell too, might have caused the lung to pop. Did have touring tires, he was riding his Surley bike, but not much you can do when you hit the ice with any kind of tires I guess.

There was an interesting discussion on TE a few months back about being more risk averse as you age, and I know it is true for me. I don't want to FEEL fragile, but I am aware that my body IS fragile. But also resilient!!

Stay safe everyone!
