wow, she was lucky, or maybe not. how fast was she going? what might she have surgery on? my Wife crashed her bike into a bollard last July 4th breaking her wrist. when that healed she then also needed carpal tunnel release surgery

when I ws a kid trying to ride thru a pile of leaves on my stingray the front wheel planted & I went over the bars, but luckily landed in the leaves so I was OK. cpl years ago I got spoked riding the edge. that trashed the fender & derailer & maybe 1 spoke? the bike just skidded to a stop. here's one of my favorite biking pics. (never found the stick)



maybe I didn't break a spoke just net one? I mushed everything back into place to ride in just one gear
