    I just spoke with him. He was in CVS, looking for gauze to cover his arm. He sounded slightly annoyed I was concerned, but it's my job. He did say the bike is perfectly fine and he did not fall anywhere near his head, the helmet is fine.
    We'll see how quickly he gets back on the bike.

    So long as it's the non-stick kind. Sometimes there isn't anything else I've been able to find to cover it (DH's crashes - and one of my own).

    Crankin, Ach! Boys!

    Reesha, I wear a rainbow one under my helmet to proclaim, "I am the world champion of this here commute!"
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    I think he wanted it so as not to gross out friends and co-workers. He remembers when DS #2 went to school many times with serious oozing road rash after crashing in races (not supposed to cover it, right?), and caused several of the girls at Acton Boxborough Regional High School to nearly faint.

    Dear self:
    Go get the burrito. Then go somewhere to study, or something. It's hot in here.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.
