Oh, I am so sorry...that just really stinks. We have a nice paved trail here, too...but I don't really like biking on it for this reason. There are far too many oblivious and inconsiderate people who frequent the path (and don't clean up after their dogs...grrr...). It also crosses too many roads and all the starting and stopping makes me nuts.

I hope you heal fast. A friend of ours broke her wrist last Summer in a mountain-biking accident. She was back on the bike pretty fast--but she is also kinda insane (she has done century rides on the indoor trainer for "fun").
