When I hit, I folded a Yield sign all the way to the ground and something popped the cover off the seat rails, exposing the metal (titanium) that holds the seat on. Yeah, and I was squeezing the seat with my legs.. the rails impaled my right calf. 3 surgeries, 5 weeks on my back. It was bad ..
I have done 6 century rides (100+ miles) and one Half Marathon since then. anything with wheels and super fast, I love it.  |
That sounds pretty traumatic to say the least. Sounds like you're lucky to be alive. I bet that crash could have made that show called "scarred". Glad you were able to recover to ride again.
