Broke my thumb riding in kitchen
To disable ads, please log-in.
So it's the sunday before super bowl and we'd had some pretty cold stretches. I decided I'm gonna ride my rollers since i'm too wimpy to ride outside. Since it had been so long i made the mistake of wearing my road shoes. anyway, the bike slid off the rollers, i couldnt unclip, i landed on my hand on the tile floor in the kitchen. Broke my thumb, had surgery to put in two pins, I'm out for 8 weeks. Off work, off my bike, bored, frustrated, can't DO anything.
Whattaya suggest?laurie

Bummer.
Stationary trainer, hands free, just to keep the legs rolling over? Or time to work on core/flexibility? A physio would have some ideas on ways around it.

Oh man.
Hope you heal quick.

I will admit that the title made me think "wow! That must be one BIG kitchen!"
I've often wondered what I'd do for exercise if I broke a leg...but I'd go with the stationary recumbent or intervals on an elliptical machine (with no hands to improve balance)If you don't grow where you're planted, you'll never BLOOM - Will Rogers

sorry to hear...that really stinks. Maybe you can get your hands on a trainer so you can ride without having to balance the bike. I did this when I fractured my shoulder years ago.

That sounds like a really bad break. I hope you're not in pain. For exercise, how about walking or running?

Bad Luck Pink. Hang in there; it is always so hard to stop when something like that makes you stop!
Go for some hikes up the mountains around your home.

I'm really sorry that you are suffering but I had to chuckle at the title. I guess you can't guarantee being safe even if you stay off the streets!

Actually, they do say that most accidents happen at home, right?! Rollers = challenging; I never dared to try them when my DH had some. Originally Posted by Melalvai
