    Hi Jenn- I'm so sorry to hear of your mishap. It sounds like you were on a Class 1 bike path- separated from the road. One of the reasons I don't like these paths is because drivers pay no attention to them. We're out of sight and out of mind.

    Please see a doc if you don't get better soon. You may need to get your head checked especially if you had a concussion. Pain pills aren't my thing either, but sometimes it's better to take them. I trust you are in doctor's care.

    Get lots of rest (with a 15month old that will be a challenge!). With time you will heal. In the meantime I too send my healing thoughts to you.

    Wow, Jenn! Please take it easy! I'm such a wimp I would've been like, "Load up the morphine, fellas!"

    I know that other people have mentioned the book "The Art of Urban Cycling." I'm currently reading it right now. I borrowed it from the local library. While you are down (and not out ) might I third the suggestion that everyone read the book.

    Get some rest and heal up soon!

    EVERY cyclist should read these two books. You can get them cheap on Amazon, used but like new.
    I think it's the same book, isn't it? Just newly published under a new title?

    Oh Jeez, so you mean I just bought the SAME book again, with a different title???? The title, cover, and even the subtitle is different!! How dare they do that!!!

    Looks like I'll be lending one copy out to various friends, I guess.

    Jenn...I've been gone and sorry to not respond sooner.

    I'm so sorry and hope that you have a speedy, speedy recovery. Hang in there and don't let someone else's stupidity be a joy stealer for you.
