Welcome back to riding. Never too late to catch the bug – again. 😃
Is your name – ah bike accident related?
Thanks for the welcome.
Funny you should ask:
My screen name is indeed bike related.
I was hit by a truck while riding my BMX bike at age 12.
I broke my femur and spent 5 weeks in traction, got a nasty Staph infection at the traction site, and then spent another 5 weeks in a body cast. This left two very interesting "hole" scars on my knee. A few years later, I broke the same leg and tore a ligament in gym class. This left me with another scar 7" long on the same knee.
I’m much better now. 😎
