I just told one of my partners what I did and he looked at me with a blank look best described as the look you get from the fish lying on ice at your local supermarket.

Good move

You'll have so much fun - Syracuse actually has enough snow to make a fat bike worthwhile. And when you fall, there's lots of nice fluffy snow, so it's hard to get hurt!
Here's wishing you a speedy recovery and a crash-free 2018.
