Hey Mr. Silver, why not create your own user name. No one says only women can participate. We really appreciated you letting us know about the accident, and keeping us updated on Silver's progress. We are here to help you both get through this. Its interesting. When I told my husband about this, he said 'she's gotta get back on the horse' whereas my reaction was she needs to heal first, and then she can get back on the horse. I agree that right now Silver is actually processing the horrible accident she witnessed only 2 weeks before her own. It was only after my husband had a bad cycling accident several years after my cycling accident, that my fears returned at an even more intense level. Fear is good, if it makes us ride safer, and more defensively, but fear is not good if it immoblizes us. But we all need to work through this stuff, and maybe time off the bike will let Silver figure out how to be a safer rider when she is ready to get back on.
