greetings from Wilmington Re-hab

Hello Friends;

This past Sunday was a beautiful fall day, and Ihought I'd take an early morning ride through my favorite park on my BikeE. Disaster! I hit a patch of wet leaves on a downhill, the rear wheel spun out; I and the bike went down hard on my right side. Result: Smashed Femur. I'm now recovering in Wilmington Rehab Hospital, I expect to be here about another week, the usual 6-8 weeks for actural bone healing, and about six months before I'm back to where I was before the accident. I guess I'm writing this to warn everyone to be extra careful about leaves in general and wet leaves in particular. I'd been toying with the idea of three wheels for my next bike. With this experience behind me, I'm almost certain my next bike will be a trike. This is the first serious accicent I've had in 15 years of riding
