WIMP! where are the stitches, casts, bones protrucing from flesh, or at least a wound that goes through more than one layer of skin, I want to see muscle, tendons, bone or organs.

lmao!! Those are the mtn bike rides I go on when it stops raining in LA.
 
Stopping with the front brake gives you the most power and is the right way to break. You just forgot to shift your weight back enough. Glad your ok.

Thanks, ya, I used to practice that move, slide all the way back, shifting down behind the seat nearly sitting on the rear wheel. I was tired, dehydrated and wasn't thinking very clearly.

How bout I post the pics of the random holes/burns/cuts I get on a daily basis? You sir are a wuss. No sympathy here.

You can post random pics of your stuff in your Own Thread. No need to crap in mine.

If you had legs like mine you might be tempted to see them shaved.

Are you making fun of my legs?

Not in the least. However, if you'd like to post a pic of them I might.

I don't really have any pictures of them, but I did do 50 miles on my own bike last sunday, so they sort of have a resemblance to yours, but hairier. 😛

He was about to cut you off? How fast were you going? I can't picture what happened exactly. 😕
I was doing about 20 mph, the car and I were about 15 feet from the intersection. I reacted and was on the ground just in front of the intersection. I didn't have enough momentum to skid into it. She stopped in the middle of said intersection to inquire if I had an broken bones, then sped off.
I were about 15 feet from the intersection. I reacted... Reacted to what? She started to run you off the road, or what?

...a car began to roll in front of me. Can anybody else clue me in here? 😕

I'd guess she cut him off as she made a right turn in front of him.

Um, if I were better at ASCII I'd draw you a diagram. I looked up and saw her....reacted by clenching on the brake. Impact was imminent but not immediate. I'm not saying it was her fault. the crash was largely due to my reacting by grabbing the front brake vs. the rear.

Could you draw a picture in paint to show us what happen please?

For those with impaired imaginations or curiousity beyond control here is the diagram.
