I was out for an annual long father’s day ride with a few buddies when my friend slowed suddenly due to a front tire flat with me on his wheel; my buddy on my wheel and I went down hard when I rode up the back of my friend with the flat.Inexplicable luck of cycling, both my shifters are destroyed (pic) yet I have only minor scrapes on my knee and elbow. Meanwhile, my buddy’s bike is undamaged, but he is in the hospital with a broken rib and collapsed lung.
No idea how I hit the deck for this to result.
I'm sorry to read this. Crashes happens so fast. Most of the time within the blink of an eye and you're on the ground not knowing what happened.
I wish you a speedy recovery. On the flip side, you may need to buy a new bike as a result!
