Cycling injury

How much time do you have?

I seperated my shoulder (grade 3 AC seperation) during a crash on Glencoe
Rd. 14 years ago. That was a training ride with a friend who was panicked by
a cat and hit the brakes in front of me while we were trading pulls. Then,
about 7 years ago, I crashed after bobbling a landing during a BMX cruiser
race. That one was bad. I remember the gate dropping then waking up in the
CT machine at Silverton Hospital! You know what those things are like;
tunnel, bright light at the end! I'm thinking, "Geez Hormann you've really
done it this time"! Twenty seven stitches in my face and permanent numbness
in my jaw. Can't whistle anymore. Of course, if you want, I can go all the
way back to age 7 when I walked in the front door and scared my mom to half
to death after sliding down the gravel alley on my face after going off a
homemade jump. It's probably a good thing I don't ride a motorcycle...

Doug:)

There is a little discussion going on at my house about how dangerous riding
and/or racing your bike might be. If you have never been injured on your
bike could you send me a note?

Likewise. Usually I get injured when my bike falls on me :)

It would be interesting to find out the hours of exposure time (riding)
compared to injuries.
In other words who has ridden the longest without getting hurt.
Then you have to define what constitutes an injury. Do superficial scrapes &
bruises count?
I would have to say they do not. An injury has to be something broken or
torn that takes more than a month to recover from.
