Excuse me for not riding this winter..

[ScaredyCat]

.. but I do have a reasonable excuse.

(sorry the picture is bad, take while in agony awaiting initial plaster)

Broken tib/fib on left leg. For a bike that's so light it can still do a lot of damage

The xrays with the pin work look impresive, might try and get a copy of them. went in via the knee quite neat, although the staples look like they just got someone in from admin to quickly do the job

Now everyone around me is saying I won't be getting back on a bike because that would be stupid... I can't wait to get back on :/

I'm counting down the 14 weeks... still only in week one sadly.

Does this mean you finally came off the bike after going on before in another thread ages ago about how you wouldn't?

On the other hand, that looks nasty. Ouchie. Good luck with not riding a bike for that long..!

Beats my 6 weeks for cracked ribs.
Not that I'm jealous in any way.

Would say get well soon but I guess that'll be sorted in 14 weeks
Hope not too painful and you get some physio

Over 6 months on and my tib and fib still weren't even starting to heal!

However, do have some pics of me doing wheelies and stoppies on a bike with crutch holders attached with said broken leg .

[Joenitro]

Get well soon mate

[Flatbadger]

You're sorted for Halloween, take that pic round the doors and you could eat like a king!

I was about to start looking for a thread all about it, but it seems from the responses above that there isn't one yet.

Did you get your tests done (mod1/2)?

Ouch! Sorry to hear that... And also sorry to hear people think you won't be riding bikes again, don't worry, they don't understand what it's like

Wish you a speedy recovery!

A dancer friend of mine broke her ankle pretty badly a few years ago (she was 50 something at the time), and the doctor told her she'd never be able to dance properly again... 6 months and some intensive physio later, she was back on the floor dancing like nothing had happened, I'm sure it will be the same for you (but with bikes, not dancing).

It sounds like he dropped the bike on his leg. Probably from a standstill.

[Islander]

Holy crap - that's a bit of a drastic way to avoid winter riding!

More seriously, get well soon and even more importantly, spill the beans as to how it happened.

[AL-]

Impressive break

[Benno]

Oh snap!

Get well soon. I'm with everyone else here, want more details/story!
