Let's compare cycling injuries.

Some people are just never happy and so what , cars and bicycles should be able to share the road and I dont understand why it is such a problem . I like bicycles and have ridden several and had several wrecked by inconsiderate
butt hoses that are behind the wheel . I think it would be nice if motorists and cyclist could get along on the road ...

Interesting. I've only ridden it up to short of smell A. A buddy of mine wants to train it to SF then bike back but it's sounding less desirable all the time. Fog, Cher, etc.

To fulfill some narcissistic need in one's life. Or, I suppose, to give one's mundane life some sense of worth.

The only thing worse than tweeting is reading someone's tweeter

I tried reading a twitter last week to find out where this food truck was (because it only tweets its location, apparently), and it confused me. There were like a hundred random sentences and hyperlinks to things and none of them said where the damn truck was, so I closed the page.

Then again, I primarily use my non-smart cell phone as an alarm clock, so, clearly, the future is just not for me, hahahaha.

My two front teeth are titanium and porcelain - dental implants.

When I was younger, I was trying to imitate Evil Kenevil and failed. I was trying to jumped off a bike ramp. The last thing I remember is flying over my handlebars. I hit the pavement teeth first.

I wasn't wearing a helmet but this was way before helmets were widely recommended thing. I don't think it would have helped since I pretty much hit teeth first. Oh yeah, I also broke my pinky finger in the process of failing as Evil Kenevil.

Ive crashed doing silly things or trying to stop. One time i jumped a curb and fell, 20 minutes later passed out crossing broadway a main drag. I was told i made it halfway across and fell over the handlebars passed out.

I had a mongoose i think xr250 was going down a hill standing, somehow my foot slipped and as i fell the crank went through my thigh, tearing past my shorts and boxers to leave seven gashes. Some guy stopped and ask if i was okay and drove off as soon as i looked up to answer.

Ive locked front brakes flipped head first,i tried to do a 360 spin on wet ground last year, knocking the bike from under me. The scariest moment actually was, i found a 37 schwinn henderson. I was merely sitting on it waiting ay the bus stop when the seat fell backwards on the post. I dont know why but i wasnt that skitish when i ran in to a cab.

Somehow I tweeked my mcl running. I'm gonna be on light duty for a few weeks. I'm guessing this is another side bar injury from getting doored years ago.
