from one graphic designer-cyclist to another, congrats on getting back on your bike, and sending you quick healing vibes! Rest up and you'll be back in the game in no time!

Just got my new helmet adjusted. What a pain, but after looking at the gash in my old one, I'd never consider riding without a helmet. Now a date with a cup of hot chocolate, a few more ibuprofen and an early bedtime. Tomorrow will be better. I have a bunch of old photos to retouch. It's tough to do that with a killer headache.

Thanks for all the good thoughts and hugs. It felt better just to know I had a place to whine where people would understand and not tell me not to ride because cycling is dangerous.

That's what I love about TE, a place where people "get it"!

A crash like that is very rare, but happens, just like when you fall walking down stairs. Don't let it stop you! Do take it easy for a bit, though. Sounds like you're hurt. Get a massage in a few days! That will help loosen things up, and help with the bruising.
