Meh, I walked it off.

Rub some dirt on it

Oucha magoucha!

I figured this would happened. At the moment, my knees hurt like hell, everything else felt fine. At which point I figured, okay, it's going to be my elbow that turns out to be hurt the worst. Sure enough, a few hour later, my knees feel fine, but the little bump on my elbow hurts like a sonofabich. Still confident it's nothing severe, but owwie.

I'm sure there's some sort of evolutionary physiological reason for that, it almost always seems to be the case. Whatever hurts the worst initially probably isn't the worst damage you did to yourself. Perhaps it's a result of the fact that often the best thing to do for the worst injury is leave it the fvck alone, so you're better off being distracted by some superficial injury that you can't make worse and can make yourself feel better by treating that.

Not a bad theory

Bike accidents sure do suck. I remember my last accident... slipped off a pedal ended up bending the handlebars... with my stomach. That was pretty awful, but yours sounds even worse. All I can say is pop some aspirin and I hope the nasty heals soon!

OUCH!!!!

This is why I don't ride a bike. Imagine what my kind of fall would be like if this is what happened to you!

I'm glad it wasn't worse, and I hope it doesn't turn out to be worse than a few large bumps.

Accidents aside, I really admire your bike commute

Incidentally (tangenting to something from your fb back during the rainy season) - the Santa Ana River is STILL 6-8 feet deep through Santa Ana. They've been gradually releasing water from behind Prado Dam. It's astounding how much water is still coming down.

Not Afraid · 01-11-2011, 03:42 PM

The LA river is still flowing nicely as well.

Morrigoon · 01-11-2011, 03:42 PM

Sounds like water control is well planned. Nice to hear they're earning their salaries
