Holy cow. Your story has me cringing. I can't imagine how you were able to get back on your bike and keep on riding!

Thank you for passing on your hard-won tire knowledge. I'm getting ready to order new tires for my bike, so now know what to watch for.

My nephew's girlfriend broke her pelvis this past Spring Break (skiing accident). She was in quite a bit of pain for about 6 weeks, After 5-6 weeks, she began feeling significantly better, so give yourself a couple more weeks to heal.

Feel better soon!
