finished a dowhill run the other day, was doing about 2 mph getting ready to turn around and head back to the top when my front wheel hit a hole, the bars flipped to the side i went over the top and landed on my ribs on the end of the bars!!!! i've got badly bruised ribs, but at least i didn't get cored!!!!!!
can't lift anything and it hurts when i roll over in bed, but sod it, i'm still going to cwmcarn on the weekend

My mate did almost exactly the same thing last week at Rivington except he got the bar end in the nuts. We were both crying, him in pain me because I was laughing so hard
Hes still walking like John Wayne
Try some Ibuprofen pain relieving jell it takes a bit of the sting out of your ribs and lets you move about a bit easier.Fig rolls: proof that god loves cyclists and that she wants us to do another lap0 -
keep moving.
if you stop moving it will get even worse.
I did something similar last year and sat still coz it hurt real bad this was the worst thing I could have done as i ceased up even more then it hurt much more, then five days later i couldn't move at all.
Then on the Sunday I was lay on the settee and I started to sneeze the pain was awful and I am not ashamed to say but i was reduced to tears of pain. It was real bad so my wife who is a nurse made me move about and from then on it was much better.
(She's a hard cow)Its all up hill down here0 -
did that to myself landing up short in Are this summer. the half moon is still there and I can feel knotting under the skin. I expect I'd have been able to see bone and/or dayilght if I hadn't had plugs
glad your ribs are *basically* OK!Everything in moderation ... except beer
Beer in moderation ... is a waste of beer
If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it
... or being punched by it, depending on the day0 -
