tobytoby's blog post - Saddle sore

Sunday, May 25, 2008, 8:26:16 PM
On the way to rehearsal last Tuesday I performed a somersault, when something got caught in my bicycle spokes and I propelled myself over the handle bars and landed with a thud on the pavement on my chest! It happened in a flash! One second peddling along minding everyone elses business; the next I was sprawled on the floor feeling a fool. Another thud! The saddle bopped me on the head as the bike came to rest finally.

Thought I had at least cracked a rib, but apart from a sore pectoral muscle (which I never knew I had) and a scraped knee I'm fine. The bike came off worse but now I have a new one. Every cloud and all that....

OMG, I'm glad you weren't more seriously hurt! That kind of flip can be very dangerous. :(

Walk next time? xxx

Ouch! At least you know you have a pectoral muscle now.... :)
