Just to keep every one up to date on my accident.
I'm fine, two broken toes and a nasty bruise above my kidney. I see an orthopedic surgeon Tuesday.
What happened: I was travelling up Boylan Av. and when I rounded the curve right before the bridge I hit the curb. That pitched me off the bike, and I think I flew about 30 feet then hit the ground. My bike followed me and we came to a rest 125 feet from where I hit. I was too close to the cars parked around that curve and had forgotten the road narrows there at that bridge. Combine that with the street light making the road and the sidewalk look same, my speed, I really didn't have much of a chance. But I'm not seriously injured, it could have been much worse and from now on I'll remember not to do that again.
The front end of the bike is trashed. Hopefully I have enough spare parts to make it work.
*Edit : Oh yeah, happy birtday z_kungfu! Sorry it's late...
