So usually when I hurt myself, I'm out of the biking scene for a bit. Suprizingly I can bike fine with my big toe broken in half and found it odd. Now obviously toes arn't much but a big toe is... BIGer. Are there other bones you can break and be fine?!? I'm a little pissed to find this out now... I could have saved a whole lot of time by saving my other bones and just keeping it to my toes.
Snapped my toe in half... biking still intact

Eh, it's all a matter of what you consider "normal" or "reasonable". I broke my hand, then cut my cast off to ride a few more days of dh. Thanks to prescription drugs I was able to do so, but it's recasted now that I'm back at school and can't ride dirt.
Keep on keepin' on.

I'm pretty sure that your nose is cartilage.
The vomer is indeed bone.mtnbrider said:
And to the topic at hand....meh, it's just a flesh wound.
Malleus, incus or stapes? Which one?nato said:
This is my toe after I broke the crap out of it last winter playing soccer.
It was so swollen I couldnt even get my foot into a shoe for 2 weeks. How the hell are you biking?

I broke the same toe but the break is lower than that, its a red line (where it snapped) and a huge reddness bruise all around it. Im not biking XC style with my toe clipless style but instead Im using more of my mid foot, hucking style. Luckily I was pretty bombed when it happened so I didn't feel too much but it still hurt like a nacho. I was going down the stairs, my toe went ballerina style and then I proceeded to continue applying pressure untill SNAP and my toe buckled under my foot. NAstayy
