I love to ride a road bike. I go out as much as I can. Yesterday I rode 25 miles. Out in the country area around my house, where there are 5 foot wide shoulders for the amish. I pass them every so often and they wave back. About 3/4 way thru the ride, I stopped to call my wife and tell her I would be later than I thought. I have clips on the pedals so I unclipped one side so I could stand and make a call. After leaving a message, I put the phone away and got ready to go. I forgot which pedal I unclipped and began to lean to the right. Unfortunately the right one was clipped. After yelling several obscenities, I fell over on my shoulder, hip and knee. I just laid there awhile and felt around to see if I broke something. Nothing broke, I laid there about 10 minutes. Its amazing that I could hear people walking around but no one stopped to see if I was OK. I finally got up, and went on my way. I had not fallen with clips until that time. So in the future I will unclip both just to be safe. At 58 I could not fall too many times without breaking something.
I hope the government is fixed soon.
Carpe Diem
