After nearly half a century of cycling without a serious accident, last year I suffered through two mishaps--a crash and getting "doored"--that resulted in a two-night stay at a trauma center and a visit to an emergency room, respectively. Oh, and the crash ended my journey with Arielle, my Mercian Audax (the first Mercian I acquired).
I suppose things could have been worse, though:

I mean, if I'd had a Strava (or any electronic measuring device), it would have shown an average speed of O.O5 mph or something by the time I got home.
WOW hope your healing well and getting back to 100%, we are both 65 now and hitting the ground would not be a good thing at all! Here's to a much mellower 2021 for you! :)

ReplyDeleteBJ and JoLynn—Welcome! I am not much younger than you, so I try not to hit the ground. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteVoyage—Now you know the real reason why I don’t have any electronic devices on my bikes! ;-)
