Today's Bike Ride

[Ady In Accy]

Get well soon ratfink! Coming off's no fun, especially landing on your boat race!

You said you were pedaling hard and the chain jammed - sounds like it could have been the freewheel jamming.............? Like Han said get it checked out but make sure they check the freewheel as well.

Oh dear, you have been in the wars.....hope it heals quickly....have you though about padding?!! ;-)

can't believe i had another bike crash commuting and landed on my face. think my chain got stuck and jammed as i was pedalling hard and i went over the bars and landed on my top lip on the curb!! missed knocking out any teeth (one very small chip), missed smashing my nose, just a road rashed top lip that feels the size of norway (and various other cuts and bruises). worst of all i couldn't speak well enough to stop the man from the car behind from phoning an ambulance - they let me go after they checked me over.

although in retrospect it might have been an idea to go get it swabbed more thoroughly than i could bear to do (though i did my best). had some nurofen but can't really sleep for the throbbing.

i haven't been road biking long - but i've been commuting uneventfully on my mountain bike for 3 years up til now -
