1st crash

[KSH]

How scary!

Thank goodness you are doing *OK*. Sounds like some healing for you and your bike is in order.

Best of luck getting back on your bike real soon!

hey Yvonne, I once had a nasty fall in Central Park also, resulting in a ride in the Central Park Medical Unit ambulance! The 'traffic' can get a little wild in the park sometimes.

hang in there and heal fast!

Ouch Yvonne! I'm glad you're there to tell the story at least.

I also had a good fall at the beginning of the July, slipped on sand while cornering. Luckily it cost me more in bandage for my cut knee and elbow than in repairs for my bike as I fell on my left side.

Heal fast !!!

Healing thoughts beaming your way. Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Hope I will continue upright and out of trouble myself...come close a few times since the first one. Only fell once when I first learn clipless, been a few months. Knock on wood

Hey, Yvonne!

That first fall is kind of like an initiation, isn't it? I mean, with cycling, falls happen, injuries happen, and then your riding buddies get to tell you all their fall stories and injury stories and cheer you on as you recover! It's like you've now "become a biker"

And these girls at TE are the best at all of that supportive encouragement! We've all been there at some point.

If you get a chance, do tell us how the crash happened, and what your (and your bike's) injuries are! I sure hope you recover quickly and completely. Hang in there! It's never fun to be off the bike, but just know that you'll get there one day and it will be so wonderful!!

Also, there are many things you can do to aid in your recovery, including nutritional supplementation, physical therapy and exercise. Let us know what you're recovering from and I bet you'll get all sorts of ideas for healing!

Hugs,
