True. I guess I never see them cus I live in a small town with horrible potholes and lots of rough roads. I wish I had a story to contribute, but I've been laid up in bed for the past five days. I guess I qualify as one of "today's idiots." I've had patellar tendinitis in one knee since December, and just went to the doctor for it last week. She diagnosed me and told me not to ride my bike for a while. I went 2 days without cycling, and then decided to ride over to my friend's house to drink. Guess I got a little carried away with the gin, trying to keep up with the boys (I am a tiny female) and blacked out on my ride home. Woke up with a chipped tooth, a punctured lip, scraped/bruised chin, and worst of all- a hella ****ed up knee. I must have taken the entire impact directly on my kneecap, then tumbled and ate the pavement. I've been unable to use my leg and have been in an excrutiating amount of pain, and now I have to halt my physical therapy which means i'll be lucky if I can ride again before summer is over. The lesson: listen to your doctor, and dont ride your bike if you've got mad spins.
