First Post accident ride

Phone Guy · 03-31-2008, 03:14 PM

I know this might not seam like a big ride report but I got smacked pretty good by a pickup in November. Today I rode to work for the first time since. I had knee surgery that kept me from riding. Not 100% back together yet but hoping the pain in my knee allows me to keep riding.
It sure feels good to be back in the saddle

Onya for getting back into it. Hope all goes well with the knee.

I know from personal experience how exciting that is after a long lay-off due to a smash.

For me the first few minutes were a little odd,then it was business as usual.

I blew up my knee (not from riding) and was out of the saddle for over 6 months. That SUCKED! This is what I was reduced to:

Glad you made it back to the correct way to get around! Have fun and mind the idiots in pickups!
