Thread: The Accident (A down and dirty)

Its really great to hear you are OK Michael! Hope you don't have any permanent injuries and heal quickly, we miss your SOTD posts brother.
Godspeed!

Glad to hear that there are no permanent injuries.

Just shows the value of wearing the correct protective gear and in your case that day, your camelbak. The only time I ever use my camelbak is on my trail bike were I don't have space in my frame for bottle cages.

Any chance of using an IDT even if it's just spinning to try and regain some of your aerobic capacity?

Wow! What a story. I pray you heal quickly and easily. You might be surprised how much aerobic ability you have retained. The key is let that leg and your back heal. Getting back on the (high impact) horse too quickly will have lasting negative results... God's speed.

Glad to hear you're on the road to recovery, as you mentioned, it could have ended up much, much worse.

I'm glad to hear you had the protective gear, it sounds like the camelback really served you well, as did the gloves and especially the helmet, especially the helmet.

I just won't ride in Toronto anymore on the streets, I'll take the bike down to the boardwalk at the Beach, or to the local trails, but I won't ride where there's traffic anymore, just takes one mistake and the consequences can be life changing or ending.

Super glad to hear you're getting better, and all the best.

Man! I had asked you about this as seeing your 'wheelchair' shave on SOTD.
The details, however are quite scary! So good to have had some protection. The head is literally akin to a big egg.
Bravo on the helmet!
Wishing you a fast, complete recovery!
Tom

Holy Moley!
Glad you are on the road to recovery!

Whew!
Dodged the bullet.
Glad to hear you are recovering.
