I was riding the bike path on Thursday and the next thing I remember is the EMTs putting me on a stretcher. Had my helmet been on my head instead of in the trunk of my car I might remember why I crashed.
I might remember the jogger that I was told called for help.
My new windbreaker might not have been cut off me and turned into a rag.
I might not have needed an ambulance ride to the emergency room.
I might not have needed 20 stitches to close the cuts on my cheek and eye lid.
I might not have to replace the scratched beyond use lenses in my glasses.
I might not have to explain why I look like I have been in a fight.
I guess what I am saying is after about 50 years of riding bikes and motorcycles I will now be
wearing a helmet.
I also add I am glad it wasn't any worse.
