Fell off of a quarter pipe after hitting ice on the deck of it.

Felt a rib pop and I still cant move my grapefruit sized albow.

Oh, no! We have another Premium!
It's not bad, just a bit too many Poverty parts for my liking.

Haha, no I wouldn't. I don't hate everyones bike because my bike isn't good.

On the other hand, maybe I do hate everyone's bikes because I don't even like my own.

The verdict is in.

One broken rib, and bruising on serounding ribs, badly bruised elbow and hip. Doctors estimate it'll be about 4 weeks till I get back on a bike.

So, now the only riding I can do is on my commuter. Which isnt to bad considering it's the time of the year where everything is melting and the roads are horrid. Plus I like my commuter, it's a comfy bike and it has a sweet bell.

That's not too bad. Wanna trade? Actually, I'm not doing so bad myself... if I had any muscle in my injured leg, I'd probably be able to walk in about two weeks. But, I have next to zero muscle in my bad leg.

It's not in any way an insult, just a classification.

EDIT: Unless being British is in your mind, regarded as an insult.
