I was 8, my many siblings and I were riding through a paddock on the way home from performing a few farm duties, when my bike hit a pile of cow dung hidden in the grass. I flew over the handle bars, but then due to the shock of it all, I realised I hadn't let go. After playing leap frog with my bike for roughly 25 - 30 metres, I managed to sit up. I then realised that my clothes were torn, there was blood most the way down my legs, chest/stomach and my face. I also gain friction burns and sprained joints/muscles. Although I do hope that like me, through the anxiety and greif of it all, you do continue to ride. That’s not as bad nor as serious as what happened to me once.

Hope you are feeling better soon. Thankfully my commute is too long to try and bike because I am sure I would have a similar story. OUCH!! Hope you are feeling better soon.

Hey despite the set back, once again you are totally inspiring riding to work one day let alone going back for more. I wish I had that sort of discipline. Maybe if I didn't have to take Jace to day care I would try it. <em>Lori's last blog post..<a href='http://lorifamily.blogspot.com/2008/05/does-that-say-reebok-on-side-of-your.html' rel="nofollow">Does that say REEBOK on the side of your face?</a></em> Ah man – that would totally suck – especially the assholes laughing (you sooooo know we’d be laughing too if it were someone else – ha).

I am not nearly brave enough to ride my bike to work, but of course it's 11 miles up and down some MAJOR hills to do that, and all highway in the country where the big pick'emup trucks rule the road (and the shoulders). If you join the circus, I'm going with you. I can hold the rope for the trapeze you'll be flying on. <em>Momilies's last blog post..<a href='http://momilies.livejournal.com/174259.html' rel="nofollow">If Long Distance is Free, Why am I Paying For It?</a></em> Oh…you are sooooooo BRAVE!!

I would love to bike to work, but 16 miles is a bit far for my out of shape self. Hope you heal quickly, looks like you took a hell of a spill. I felt embarrased just reading it. <em>Cindy's last blog post..<a href='http://growingupcrazy.blogspot.com/2008/05/starting-over.html' rel="nofollow">Starting over</a></em> Ouch!

That is so, totally, 100% something that would happen to me. I remember biking to work once wearing a long coat and the coat got all tangled in the spokes and i had to strip off, while attached to my bike in order to detangle it - real classy. Far less painful though, hope you get lots of sympathy! Oh man, you poor thing! That is so, totally, 100% something that would happen to me.
