Dad is talking about a more adventurous time in my life where I was into Triathlon and racing bikes .. I have a picture of it, PM if you want to see. It was the most bizarre thing that could have happened I think. I crashed at about 45-50 mph coming off of Lookout mtn here in Chattanooga. I was passing cars coming off the mountain.
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.
