Yesterday, in a weird twist of fate, I almost got run over by a car and ended up with stitches after impaling myself on a part of my bike (the fenders?) . I was just sitting at a fresh red light when a car came careening straight towards me through the red light. To avoid a collision, I threw myself (with my bike) to the left. Sheer adrenaline kicked in and after the narrow miss I realized I had impaled my leg on my bike down to the bone, yech. I'm doing fine, and only needed five stitches, but so far I think August should be National Bicycle Crash Awareness month.
Don't want to be a downer, so I promise no more graphic injury photos after this ; ) I have lots more Bike Fancy photos waiting in the wings.
