Falling Down

[ny biker]

I think you did the right thing by getting right back on the horse, so to speak. I always find I'm a bit shaky after a fall, but I just ride through it.

Make sure you clean the scrapes well with soap and water, and you might want to ice the sore area around your rib cage.

Other than that, think about whether you can learn anything from it, and then put it behind you and enjoy your upcoming rides.

I've spent some time practicing falling on grass so that it doesn't come as a big surprise when it happens in the wild. After your ribs feel better, you might want to try that with a friend. Falling happens, but we can be somewhat prepared with a little practice.
