Broke my Collar Bone. 3 or more places.

Arse!

Long distance training run today on my slicks. Silly little kink and hump on cycle path and the back wheel flips out. Wouldn't even consider the obstacle a problem on XC but it chucked me with a big off landing on my shoulder. Compound fracture and needs an op next week to fit a plate. Buggeration.

Oh the joys of cycling. Should have washed the car instead.

Bad times. The last injury I had was an accident on a cycle path.
Passing a pedestrian on a dark morning (after ringing my bell) I didn't see the 15 foot long lead to the dog in the hedge on the opposite side of the patg.
Broken wrist and lots of gravel rash plus ruined tights and a wrecked rear wheel. And the walker was just shouting at me for upsetting his dog!

Yes. Cycle paths are the most dangerous places. I'm sticking to XC and single track from now on !

Also had a crash on a cycle path a while back, spraining my wrist but luckily nothing broken - gnarly stuff! :P

Hope you get better soon!

I feel your pain, mate. I did my collarbone in January (black ice round the corner from where I live, on my way to work :x ) and had a plate put in. Took a while to get over it but, as I've got back to providing a taxi service on my shoulders to my three year old boy, I'm pretty much back to normal now. However, I've got another appointment next week for a review and to get on the list to have the plate out.

Some impressive iron-mongery going on there. Glad to hear that recovery is quick once the plate is installed. Seeing surgeon next week hopefully.

Any recommendations for a good, cheap, basic turbo trainer? Need to keep pedalling as soon as possible to aid recovery.

cheapo one from decathlon or halfords will do fine
