That no more helps you than being a mechanic, and knowing a lug nut when you see one, would help you be a top Formula One driver.

Throw the stick!!!!
When you signed up to the forum you clicked a little box saying that you had read them and you understood them. Therefore, you agreed to them. You not wanting to take the two minutes to read them is not a valid excuse.

Overextended my right ankle on my daily commute. I think that's where I bent a rim, but I dunno. Guess I hadn't really paid attention to it..

Still kicking.
Listen, you are walking on extremely thin ice right now. I'd suggest acting your age and typing like someone your age. That includes using upper cased letters to start a sentence and proper punctuation to end the sentence.
If someone was going to your business hoping to get something done for them and saw how well you typed and spelled out things, they would turn right around and find someone else. Bad grammar and spelling are signs of being unprofessional.

Post like an intelligent adult and I won't have to take the threads off topic. Take a look at how the members that have been around this place for a while type. Complete sentences, paragraphs, capital letters, etc. They make it easy to read their threads and understand their posts. Don't you think this is a good thing?
Why would anyone even waste their time trying to read countless lines of dribble that appears to have been written by a seven year old?

I'll get it back on track. I think you guys that crash a lot(excluding WTP) really must just suck at riding.

I slipped on some mud on a pump track and fell on my side, clipped into my bike, right on the edge of the berm. My ribs were not broken, at least I don't think they were, but they hurt for the longest time.

I got hit by a car, slid across their roof, and landed on the other side on my feet...
in carbon road shoes. It was like skiing on pavement. I made it a few feet before landing squarely on my left butt cheek.

I've agreed to so much stuff on the internet it is pitiful. I bet 90% of people or more that see an I agree box or button just automaically check it and go on. I know this is what I do.
I remember one time I didn't agree..... that sucked, so I had to go back and agree to get my software to work.
on the wrecks, none really, but I did turn my shins to a bloody mess with some platform pedals.. I have since ordered me some clipless pedals so the worst crash is probably yet to come.

Sorry to hear about the collision. That must've freaked the driver out. It must've looked like a stunt to any observers.

Your right, it DOES hurt for a long time. Can take longer to heal than a
broken rib easily.

Shattered my leg on a trampoline, had 11 rods put in it. Broke my tibial plateau, a really rare injury for young people like myself.
