As of right this moment my knee is swollen, missing a lot of skin, my elbow is missing most of its skin and it is swollen. The crash was just about 20 minutes ago. It must have looked bad to onlookers because several people stopped and asked if I was ok. The guy in the truck asked me three times, "Are you ok? That's a lot of blood!" I said, "I think my bike is OK."

I must have hit the ground hard, because it completely reset my computer. (Has this happened to anyone?)

So now, ego broken by a 2 inch curb, I ask fellow Bikeforums people, "How long before I can ride again?" When any of you had really ugly accidents (but no broken bones) how long? I am pretty tough, I can handle a lot of pain, but the knee is what I am worried about, it is huge!!! :irritated :irritated :irritated
