Don’t underestimate the gap.
Arm meets wooden fence rail = flying W.
Don’t worry bike is fine.

Now if you were riding a red bike (faster and more nimble), maybe this wouldn't have happened.
Glad you *seem* to be ok.

My helmet was red so was the cap on my bottle and some red pin stripes on the bike.
Guess that was not enough.

That looks like a nasty cut. I think clean cuts heal better and aren't as painful during healing. Hope you heal up well.

It’s only the top layer of skin peeled back, 70 year old thin skin sucks. It’s the 2 holes in my right calf that really hurts.

Glad you can come on here and share.
It's getting to the point that any minor mishaps I can keep secret I do just so I do not have to hear how dangerous cycling is.

Oh, sorry about your arm. I hope it heals fast. It sucks, but it could have been worse.

Had to look up the meaning of ‘flying w’ in the urban dictionary, and don’t believe you were implying the definition. So what is your definition?

Your arm looks a little bad. I hope he gets better soon.
Therefore, in the process of riding in the future, we should pay attention to the road ahead to avoid accidents.

I was cycling in NC just last month (Blue Ridge Mtns near Boone). You must be a beast, there's no way I could handle the NC hills with that gearing.
Or, it's flatter where you ride. MUCH flatter.
