Bike Options?

[Catrin]

Sorry if I spoke out of turn. If you'd like me to delete the post, just let me know. I mostly just wanted to correct WR's assumption that it was TJ who broke her foot.

I don't have a sense of how private a person she is, perhaps just give her first name? Of course everyone who knows her knows of her injury so it is probably OK.

Not relevant to the new bike (congrats!!) but I did the same foot thing. Not mountain biking, I walked down the stairs off of a bus and broke mine. If you turn your ankle slightly the wrong way the torsion can snap your 5th metatarsal pretty easily. Stupid easily.

Just one more reason for my reputation for breaking things in ridiculous accidents.

ETA - don't want to imply that I'm currently broken. That happened a couple years ago.

Glad to hear that was in the past (whew!) I've seen other people have similar injuries, sometimes just from not knowing a step-down was there and not finding the floor where we expected it. I've had a large number of ankle injuries over the year, but that had to do with my mother having an incorrect set of instructions for my feet I had major foot reconstructive surgery in 2004 to fix the worse of my two feet, no falls since then (knock on wood).
