Nothing will ruin your day faster than falling off your bike. Be it from being hit by a car, being knocked off by a pedestrian, or simply doing something silly and paying the price. As I painfully type this out with a sprained right wrist I can tell you that the silly mistakes hurt the most.

Pain is one thing, but pain you can blame on someone else seems to hurt a little less. Pain that is your own stupid fault…well lets say it hurts a little more. Rain + metal plates + turning too hard = sprained wrist (dumb). Guess that will teach me.

Now I get to practice the art of riding around real slow and cautious till my hand heals. The pain will eventually go away, but the sting of how stupid I was will last forever.

Live and learn people.
