In the wake of Wednesday's fall where I fractured my right clavicle, I've been thinking a lot about my cycling, and have come to some difficult decisions. I am concerned in light of the several falls I have experienced over the last few months, and particularly because, with this one, I have a clear mental image neither of the environment that led to it, nor of what I did wrong. The next thing I knew, I was on the ground, unable to get up, and someone called an ambulance and away I went.
I have really enjoyed riding very much, but it seems as if it is not a safe mode of exercise for me. So I have listed my bike for sale on craigslist, and am going to investigate the possibility of getting a recumbent bike, which I am told is more stable, or possibly even an adult trike. It's all up in the air at this point—but that's what I'm considering, anyway.
