Biking can definitely be a dangerous sport, both mountain and road biking. <br /><br />I was involved in a three bike pile up @ 19 mph over a year ago that resulted in terrible road rash. All of my wounds were superficial, but another person had to make a trip to the hospital for a mild concussion and missed a championship race a week later.<br /><br />We've had four accidents among my teammates within the past month, three of which resulted in trips to the hospital, and one of those involved a car (and a missed race). It only takes a split second.<br /><br />I can't even imagine the prospect of having to give up something you love. I hope you are able to resume a lifestyle that fills your need for adventure.<br /><br />Best wishes for a speedy recovery.<br /><br />BarbaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099172522048117068.post-63650370940939240552011-10-23T11:20:01.087-04:002011-10-23T11:20:01.087-04:00Everything happens in threes, even if you aren'...Everything happens in threes, even if you aren't superstitious the math of probability shows that you won't ever crash again while not wearing a helmet.Fat Bike Racerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06887151028970072956noreply@blogger.com
