Doc sez my fractured elbow is healing nicely, so my 7 weeks of moping around on foot and stuffing myself into the subway while happy, laughing, bicycle-riding people pass are over...tonight.
Woo hoo!

All I can say is don't fall... you haven't ridden a while - take it easy... all of these stories about crashing on the first day of a new bike, it's the same thing. Otherwise have an awesome time, congrats

+1 on the be careful. The day I took my sling off in november I broke my hand. It was just the pinky metacarpal and I didn't want to get anymore doctor's orders so I just winced it off.

BTW, I think there should be a "boot's blog" subforum here. I love your stories.

I feel ya. I ruptured my Achilles Tendon hooping in February. I haven't been on a bike since. While I've been rehabing (and getting fatter), I've been building a new bike. The doc cleared me to ride last week. My bike might be ready this weekend. We'll see if my leg is up for fixie riding or not.
