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!

Thanked: 4207No need to buy powerball tickets, your luck has been used where most needed.
Terrific recap of a potentially life altering event. Wearing the right PPE saved your bacon, and allowed us all to share in your story.
Thanks and heal well and fully amigo.

Glad to hear you're still green side up. I hope you have a speedy and complete recovery.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Welcome back!
Thank you very much for letting others know the value of safety gear!!!! It saved you a lot of more serious problems and should be in common usage by every rider.
