Default I went down ;(

On Friday morning, a truck went though red light and hit me head on I had full protection and only things I have is broken wrist and fractured knee. Bone was sticking out so they had to do surgery. I am still in hospital until I meet with physical therapist to make sure I can get around to bathroom on my own it will be 2 months before I can put weight on leg

Bike front rim is totally bent. Sliders saved plastic but tabs are broken here and there. This is what shop guy told me it will most likely total

damn yum, i'm terribly sorry to hear that you went down. i hope you heal up quickly - that 2 mo. will fly by - stay positive. i'm glad that you're still here to tell the tale.


the bike can be fixed easy. i've put many wrecked bikes back together good as new with just a few bucks.

once again, i'm glad you're still here. heal up quick!
