i am now officially a member of the bike punx crash club. as of 3am saturday morning, that is.
like the klutz that i am, i fell off my bike riding down a curb and broke my knee.
it's a transverse displaced fractured patella if ya wanna get all technical and shit. in layman's terms, i broke the shit out of my kneecap and now it's floating around in multiple pieces inside my leg. i knew something was immediately wrong after i fell and touched my knee and felt my knee cap up near my thigh. being the brave little soldier that i am, i avoided calling an abulance because i didn't want to disturb the sleeping neighborhood and i waited to cry until i saw the xray and someone told me i might not be able to ride my bike for another 6 months.but let's end on a happy note. here i am about 7 hours prior to my accident, content as a clam, at the san marcos community bike project (ironically after watching a bmx biking documentary full of crashes and accidents). ha!
