    No more scrapping for a while

    Well yesterday I was riding my bike going down a small hill and hit a rock, which sent me flying over the handle bars. After the visit to the E.R. it turns out I broke both my bones in my right wrist, and I am right handed, so no ussing that for a while. I will try and do CRV recycling still, since it doesnt require any deassembly.

    I'm sorry you got injured. I had a mountain bike about 20 yrs ago and went over the handle bars on a trail. I didn't break anything but I had difficultly breathing for a few weeks.

    Funny thing is I'm seriously looking for a new bicycle. They have a new to me category a cross between a mountain bike and a street bike. I forget what they call them but $500-$600 gets you a nice one.

    Do what the doctor tells you and heal up correctly and completely there really is no short cuts. Mike

    I hope you recover soon. Did you tear any ligaments or anything else?
