A few times but I usually make my commute sort of an urban street ride. I've never gotten majorly hurt, more like bruised and humiliated.QotW: Have you ever sustained an injury commuting to/from work?
You didn't go to the doctor cuz you're stubborn or the greasy punctures were deep, but not deep enough?I took off from a stoplight, chain snapped and 7-8 teeth on my big ring plunged into my calf.
Since greasy puncture wounds are not good. I had to get extra drunk and clean the **** out of the holes with a kitchen scrub pad.
Was she as concerned about your health?Wife was pissed because they were new pants.
Sit in emergency for 5 hours surrounded by gross sick and injured people or go drinking? C'mon now!You didn't go to the doctor cuz you're stubborn or the greasy punctures were deep, but not deep enough?
Was there a reason for the rope or was someone being a c0cksucker?...a rope that was strung just high enough to clear my bars.
no warm ups, rarely stretch. I stretch after I run, but not after I ride.QOTD: Do you warm up before you ride to work and do you stretch when you get there?

I think it was there to separate parking lots.Was there a reason for the rope or was someone being a c0cksucker?
Good thinking!On a side note, anyone know where I can get a rebel flag cycling jersey. I figure Ill be safer out here in good ole Cookeville TN if I just play to the demographic.

you city commuters are nuts!i have gotten clipped by a car once .. went down..almost gracefully... but wound up with some road rash. Of course the car was in really bad shape after i opened the door and bent it back to the front quarter-panel. in NYC its an adventure everyday
Stop flapping your arms like a chicken when you ride and that wont happen.Once in the fvcking armpit.
well back when I was commuting from Boston to Cambridge, I got doored twice resulting in a busted finger and a dislocated thumb , and I also lost it on an ice patch once , and mangled my ankle and was on crutches for 3 months .QotW: Have you ever sustained an injury commuting to/from work?
He walked it off, Princess. As he should have.You didn't go to the doctor cuz you're stubborn or the greasy punctures were deep, but not deep enough?
It's around 2am. You're in the Emergency Room. The doctor sticks a needle in your knee to draw a sample of a suspected infection. You don't remember it, but your wife says you yelled loud enough to hear it outside... and that's after having TWO doses of demerol (or something).He walked it off, Princess. As he should have.
It's not our fault your doctor was a quack and your body is a big pvssy.It's around 2am. <snip sob story>
