The world would have to freeze over before I quit bike riding.

You do have me rethinking my usually only wear a helmet when mountain biking.

I wear a helmet no matter what kind of bike I ride whether it's a mountain bike, road bike or even a cruiser 20 inch bike. I always wear a helmet. And as soon as I heal i'm going to go shopping for a full faced mountain bike helmet. Because next time if i'm not wearing the proper helmet I could Crush and/or fracture my orbital eye socket.

I'm ok. I was riding my mountain bike downtown on a walking/bike path when all of a sudden my front tire slipped on some Fuckin leafs. Then down I went and slammed my face on a pavement section. A passerby stopped to help. We called 911. They got there and rushed me to the hospital for an eyelid sow up. It will be around 5-7 days until I'm healed and can get the stitches out.
But I'm definitely NOT GOING TO QUIT BIKE RIDING. I'll be back to riding in no time at all. I did have on a helmet which saved my skull from getting cracked.
Im gunna buy me a full face helmet as soon as i heal.

bloody hell ! This is NOT the kind of christmas gift you want is it
I hope you feel better soon
Try and get hold of some emu oil if you can and put it on generously. It will all heal in no time and you will have no or hardly any scar tissue at all.

A buddy of mine used to pop wheelies until one day going downhill he did and
the front wheel fell off and he did a nasty wipe out which resulted in a missing
tooth with a dozen stitches on his face. For some reason he stopped doing stunts.

I used to (try) to do bike stunts when I was a little girl. It usually went terribly wrong...
I fell of my bike a LOT and always had bruises and scratches, lol.

Heya man, looks brutal, but I guess you'll be ok and ride again soon! Sending good vibez!
Merry Christmas!

I always wanted a bike which can fly like the ones in E.T. but one which doesn´t fall apart is also nice, lol
I keep looking for a bike but they´re all either electric these days and/or have awful sadles which I just can´t sit on

Had a pal give me a real nice bike to get some exercise with.
Has been such a blessing. Am in the middle of an urban area,
but a block away from a path I can ride on with no cars.
Will be on it in 15 minutes.
Find myself amazed by those who flit around on city streets
with the scooters.
Want to credit those of who post the bike pictures,
you have been a positive source of motivation.

If it’s only the saddle then you should find a saddle and fit that to your bike

Both men and women need specific saddles to protect themselves

 

[bigtacofarmer]

I have heard several times that your saddle doesn't need extra padding, your butt needs to go for more rides.

yeah, I know but that may be easier said than done. We´ll wait and see The nice ones have become a rare find round here

nope, not true at all I´m afraid. A good saddle is like a good chair - they need to be made to fit us not vice versa. Too much slick design and not enough comfort these days

all bike problems have the same solution...toss a giant flaming wad of cash at it!

Merry Christmas @#1cheesebuds !
Hope you don´t need too many painkillers
