I've had 3 crashes where I've ended up in the emergency room in recent years. 2 times, either the ambulance or the police took my bike. The other time they wouldn't do it, but the doorman to the apartment building nearby took it in, and my wife had to go get it a few days later. Broke both wrists that time, so I wasn't picking up anything for a while, that was the first accident. The second I broke my pelvic bone, the third I needed 13 stitches to put my lip back on my face. It was really gross. (Obama had 12 stitches in his lip a day later, but he was playing basketball.)

That last accident was in November, and I've only been on the bike once since. I was more shaken up by that accident than the others, or maybe it is just the cumulative effect of all of these accidents, but I wasn't in any rush to ride again given the mostly crappy weather we've had. It's getting nice so I'm getting ready with new tires etc...
