Ken Kifer's accident
 

I am probably the only one that didn't know Ken Kifer had a fall this March that fractured a hip. I feel a real debt to him because his site was very helpful to me when I was just starting. He has posted a very honest article about his fall and recovery to date on his site.

Thanks for the tip JB. I'll go check it out.

Don't feel bad, Jean. I just learned about it last week. Wondered why he hadn't updated his site in a while. Turns out he was busy with other things, like relearning how to walk.

I like his attitude. [Heavy paraphrasing] The results have been rather drastic, but it really is "just" a broken leg.

a question from the ignorant, i am just a bit lost here
who is ken kifer? and what's his website?
Thanks Stew

My hat's off to Ken Kifer for providing all of us with such an intelligent and informative website.

I am sorry to hear of his accident and wish him a speedy recovery (as pain-free as possible.)

Ken's recovery is faster than average for this type of injury, as was mine from my clavicle facture. His observations about bicycle, tyre, and road/pothole/gutter geometry are interesting.

Where exactly is his account of the accident / fall? I dont see it mentioned on his main page.

Click on "news," Joe.

Thanks John! I some how missed that link.
