I've seen a few posts on The Hub related to guys coming off bikes and picking up injuries. How about posting some pics of your scars/wounds/damaged bike??

Broke my front wheel in half taking the wrong line on a downhill at Forest to Falls.

 

Scars on my face and ear, was concussed and taken off the course by ambulance!

A good Bell helmet also paid the price - it broke at the point of impact above the ear, no doubt saving a more messy situation!

This happened while still cruising to meet some friends early Sunday morning to go for a ride. Took a short cut across the church property on a cement paver path and slipped on a wet, mossy section doing 12km/h.

Supplied some good entertainment for the early morning service worshipers as I was lying right in front of the main entrance of the church. The minister assured me on Monday that quite a few prayers were said for me at the service though, which I appreciate It also helps when your friends have the direct number to the guys at ER24 to get some really fast response.

Now I am languishing in hospital waiting for the worst swelling to go down and watching for infection as it was a compound fracture while being hooked up to an IV bag with some nice antibiotics.
