I had x-rays taken of my wrist earlier this afternoon. My doctor should receive the results by the middle of next week for forwarding to the sports medicine clinic I have an appointment with the week after.
I nearly died yesterday evening traveling home from campus on my bike. An ambulance with its sirens a blazin' crossed my path at an intersection (I had the green), and I guess I must have hit the breaks too suddenly or too little with my back wheel because it rose up into the air and sent my flying over the handlebars into the intersection. I may go back to traveling by foot if this keeps up... that or break down and finally buy that helmet!
I'm meeting my aunt this evening after she finishes work, and traveling with her back to my hometown for the weekend. We've planned for a 15 km hike tomorrow and a birthday BBQ for my cousin (her son) on Monday... perhaps mine as well since my birthday is on the 12th. I haven't been too huge on celebrating my birthday in the past few years... I'm usually content with a BBQ'd steak (I'm a man of simple pleasures I guess).
Buy a helmet already! Drivers do not concern themselves with bikers' well-being, so you have to!
ReplyDeleteI've seen two accidents that would of caused 100% death if the person didn't have a helmet.
ReplyDeleteLast year I had one spill myself that broke the helmet and would of at least made me simple if I hadn't been wearing one.
