Selle SMP TRK saddle, New Drone, Fell off the bike....OUCH broken/ cracked ribs
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ต.ค. 2024
- I was planning a 50 mile circular ride to test out my new SMP 4 Selle saddle to see if it was any more comfortable than my previous saddles. IT WAS.
I am really impressed with the comfort of this saddle sofar.
My 50 mile ride was cut back to 38 miles as I crashed on some slippery chalk falling hard on my ribs, it feels like I have cracked a rib or two!
At first I had no pain but as the ride continued the pain started to set in, I could also feel some cracking as I moved, so some damage has been done. I think it's just the ribs and there's nothing that can be done for those apart from taking it steady for a while.
I hope to be back out on the bike and out for a camp very soon:)
Music used in this video is all from the TH-cam audio library:

Thanks everyone. I finally decided to go to the hospital today 19th October as the pain wasn't getting any less. The Doctor had a good listen to my chest and is certain my vital organs are fine and decided to treat me with pain killing medications. He didn't think an x-ray was necessary as rib fractures generally are left to mend on their own.
As far as he was concerned the main thing was to get me deep breathing again (something that I haven't been able to do due to pain). The pain killers are working a like a charm and it won't be long before I'm back to normal.
He did say best not to cycle for the time being just incase I should fall off and injure myself further, but the action of cycling would help with the deep breathing that I need to do.
He said generally injuries like this can take upto 6 weeks to heal.
So it's just a matter of time before I heal up.
I shall not be riding my bike on slippery chalk again!
Thanks for sharing hope you heal quickly.
Thankyou:)
Wishing you a very speedy recovery. I tipped my motorcycle over while navigating a muddy section and landed with my chest on top of my on-edge mirror. The mirror shattered from the impact. So I can relate to your injury and sympathize with you.
I'm going to the hospital today Lonnie, should have gone a few days ago. I don't think there is much they can do but had a lot of pain last night, can hardly move, I think the bruising is starting and probably all part of the healing process
Take care Sandy, great video lovely views . Hope your ok
I'm OK thanks John
Sandy, a great vlog. I’d suggest you wear cycling gloves too. The fingerless ones are best, they don’t cost much and are an underrated as a safety accessory. Think of the pain and time to mend skinned palms take. Ouch.
Des
Glad your alright great shots ATB 👍🏻
Happy Birthday Sandy hope you are doing something special for your special day.
yes Sandy ...really enjoyed that bicycle ride. You're correct in saying that you don't have to travel the world to see such interesting scenery. But then the fall 😣! Hopefully you're feeling better soon
Its been a bit of a slow journey since the crash Mark, I think I hurt my ribs quite bad. One day is good and the next not, but the pain is becoming less as time goes by
Thank you Sandy for this lovely video. So sorry about your fall, hope you are on the mend.
All the best Sandy for a speedy recovery.
Thanks Peter
Hope you are ok Sandy and thanks for the subtitles much appreciated.
Thanks for the update. We have been concerned about you. Take care
Thanks Jan
Hi Sandy. So sorry to see you take that tumble, I thought at first that it had knocked the wind out of you but then realized that there was more going on. What a trooper, mounting your bike again and riding home. Many would have thrown in the towel and called home for a lift. I felt for you when you stopped and put your jacket on, it was a struggle for sure. Hopefully you don’t have a broken rib. I was looking forward to your ride through Avesbury as I’d just watched JP Lamoureux take a walk through where the stones are located, what a truly magical, beautiful place.
I wish you a speedy recovery, take care of yourself. Judy🇨🇦
I had no choice but to ride home Judy, the pain got worse as time went by.
I have been doing very little the last few days then tried to do some work yesterday which has left me in a lot of discomfort so my friend Dickie is taking me to the hospital shortly
@@WiltshireMan glad to hear that your good friend Dickie is taking you to the hospital today. Fingers crossed that it isn’t more than one rib that you have damaged. Good luck, hopefully we will see you back soon and we can enjoy more of your wonderful hiking, cycling and camping trips. Judy🇨🇦
Hi Sandy, great video agn om, fb on the apple scrumping, hope ribs doing ok, did my ribs when i fell off Himi on mud then did em agn 2 wks later when i tripped on a bramble hiding in the grass. Anyhow as you know i did over 100k cycling to work and the best saddle i had was a Brooks leather hard looking shiny type, just kept doing it with Brooks proofhide and kept the leather tensioned with adjuster and 599 seat. 73ob. J
Hi John I've got a Brooks on old touring bike but to be honest it has never bedded in well, I think mostly because I've not treated it with proofhide, the new saddle is very good John.
Are you coming back on CW ? I was on 80 meters last night with G4FAD
Get well soon, and take it easy,, all the best from frosty Yorkshire,, 👍
Been two frosty mornings down here in Wiltshire
I hope you feel better soon Sandy, take care, all the best.
I hope you get your Rib sorted Sandy, Great Video as always.
👍
Nothing short of excellent, as ever...lovely sentiments about the English (Wiltshire) countryside. Spent this weekend on my Bootzipper cycling through Wiltshire, sublime in the Autumn sunshine.
Hi Alan, where abouts did you cycle? I'm enjoying my Bootzipper especially with the new saddle, I am going to add some suspension to the seat post when I can
@@WiltshireMan I did the Great Western Way (NCR 4) from Bristol to Reading with an overnight campsite near Pewsey.
So basically on or shadowing the Kennet and Avon. Such a tranquil route, bar the major towns of course.
My friend who I met at the Campsite was based there for 4 days in his van doing day rides following 'lost lanes' routes. He came down the Greenway into Avebury on Saturday and said it was pretty treacherous, where you fell obviously.
I already have a Redshift Suspension stem and this months pay cheque purchase is their seatpost. I ummed and ahhhed between that and the Cane Creek but think I'll go with the Redshift as it seems to have more longevity according to the reviews. Both seem to be very good at their job but choosing between is really Elastomer vs Spring ultimately.
@@alanhanley9515 Redshift are quite expensive but probably last a long time, I've been looking at XLC they are midway in the price but I think very worthwhile. The NCR$ sounds interesting for sure
Sandy, sorry to hear about your tumble, I hope that you are on the mend and can get out again soon.
I hope you're feeling a bit better now. It was lovely footage of Avebury from the drone.
Sorry to hear this Sandy! Look after yourself and get well soon. Everything else can wait. ❤
Thanks Victoria
Hope u recover soon, great to see you enjoying nature's wonders though
Thankyou :)
Sending best wishes for a full recovery.amd thank you for a very nice film as always
Speedy recovery Sandy, no laughing, coughing or sneezing for you for a few weeks. Nowt wrong with having the proper kit, I wear loose shorts over good quality bibs, to be honest I couldn’t ride long distances without them. Take care 👍
I've been down that path plenty and never really noticed the apple trees. Hope your ribs recover soon!
Hope your doing ok Sandy after your fall.
Speedy recovery Sandy.
Lots of comments about your tumble, I would just like to reiterate them really, you are a great, very talented guy Sandy and I hope you have a speedy recovery. Try and take it easy for a few days pal
Thanks Phil :)
Heal quickly, Sandy. Enjoying your videos.
I know how painful broken ribs can be. I spent 20 years in the military with only an injured knee. In the 30 years since then I have broken six ribs and torn shoulder sinews in my adventures. The treatment ordered by the doctor was ibuprofen and let it them heal. They are going to hurt for a while, don't press your luck, let them heal. I love the bicycle and camping videos, keep on keeping on as long as you can, it heartens me to see you overcoming the things that life throws your way.
Thanks Joel, broken ribs are a real downer, thankfully the pain killers are working well and giving me relief. Won't be long before I'm able to get out again
Great video + glad your ok WM. 👍👌
Hi from Ireland again.. Avebury is always a charming place to visit. Over the years iv visitid by motorcycle and our campervan. Iv stayed in the pub there too, the Lion I think it's called. There's a an old well inside if memory serves. Thanks for posting. An xray might be in order.
Yes Ivan there is a well in the pub with lights all the way down. I don't think I need an xray, there's nothing they can do to stabilise ribs, they should heal OK with time
Take care, excellent video as usual.
Thanks :)
A shame these things happen I have walked that path many times-The hard compacted chalk when wet is like ice-Loved your drone footage-Good luck 👍👍
Thanks James, the pain killers are working well, I almost feel ready to get out again but when the pain killers wear off I still know I must rest up. Could be weeks before I am pain free but I shall have to get out soon pain or no pain!
nice to see the ridgeway is not chewed up by four wheel drives and tractors.
Hoping that you are ok!
I'm OK thanks, bit sore but nothing too bad
At 13:51 does anyone know the purpose of those S shaped brackets you often see on old buildings? Love the new saddle, Sandy, at least it'll stop you getting two acres 😂 Hope you recover soon for more adventures
They are used to hold a crack together in brickwork or render to stop it cracking further, hope this helps
@@bobs2148 it does, thank you, it's something that's baffled me for years 😄
Great video....sorry about your ribs.
Hi Sandy ,I was watching a Rest Day Rider video ,and Charlie mentioned you had a cycle crash. Hope you are feeling better! Cracked ribs really hurt, did mine in a surfing accident once.
It's been over 3 weeks since the crash Bill and yes I am improving now
You’re a great guy, I’ve really enjoyed your videos. Take care on those trails and I’ll see you on the road one day hopefully 🤓
Get well soon Sandy 👍🏻🚴
Great scenery and nice little DJI. Glad you didn't hit your head when you came off. Hope the ribs get better soon. Take care.
Thanks Rob, I'll be back on the bike ASAP
“My backside is as fresh as a daisy” 6:17 Something that I’ve always wanted to say Sandy 😆
Perhaps you need to look at swapping your saddle for one of these?
Crikey bro you are so lucky to have come through that incident still able to ride home. Hope you get back to good health quickly. Safe travels. Ken.
Cheers Ken, I am on pain killers now and doing fine
Great news bro.
Hi. I've gad one of those saddles (well 2 actually for 2 bikes) for the last 15 years or so and they are excellent. Before them I couldn't ride any great distance without pain in the soft tissue. Its the down curved nose makes the difference.
Hi Emma, I am very pleased with mine, very comfortable especially when combined with the suspension seat post
Hope the Ribs are getting better Sandy. Anyway Happy Birthday (18/10/23 ) 61 your getting old !
Sure am John, every year after age 35 is a bonus for me :)
Ouch! That chalk descent is like ice when wet / frosty Sandy, I've almost come a cropper a few times on there. That said, I did bust a couple of ribs when I came off in the Savernake a few months ago. Take it easy & don't rush it, it was 6 weeks or so before I felt back to 100%. Pity I wasn't out & about myself yesterday as I could've given you a lift home in my van. All the best, Gavin.
Thanks Gavin, I have a moto camping trip planned for this weekend coming so I shall do my best to go on that even with sore ribs
I wish you well Sandy@@WiltshireMan & thanks for the tips about the apples. I've ridden along the old railway line countless times & not thought much about the apple trees until this morning when I rode along. Tried a couple & one of them was one of the most delicious apples I've ever tasted. If I can give you a few tips about broken ribs in return - naproxen is useful as an anti-inflammatory / painkiller but speak to your doctor, give your ribs some support with a cushion of pillow when sleeping and also your hand when sneezing and coughing. Hope that helps & all the best 👍
As always Sandy great vid and get better soon. Beautiful countryside that looked like a great route.
Any ride along the Ridgeway is worthwhile
Done my ribs a couple of times and always the day after when you get the real pain kick in. Here’s to a speedy recovery.
It's funny but zero pain in the beginning but I could feel some unusual movement and even hear the ribs cracking, pain isn't too bad today, it only hurts when I laugh or breath deeply/ move suddenly
Cor (see what did there?) all those apples. I wonder if there are some ‘heritage’ / lost varieties along the old railway lines?
Always lovely to see Avebury, but that did look a bit busy. Why oh why did they put that stone circle so close to a busy road? Silly old Neolithics!
Hope your rib heals easily, sir. It’s grievous how healing slows so dreadfully, with age.
I can't understand that either Barry, far too busy a road, they should have moved the circle further East toward the Ridgeway:)
I cannot believe you carried on! I would of headed for home! I think you felt colder aswell as the body was in a shock mode.
I'm still not right even now two weeks later!
Hey Sandy, i hope you are taking things easy until you feel back to normal my friend. The saddle i have is a Brooks one (leather). People say they mould to your backside 'eventually' and are really comfortable. It hasnt worked for me yet haha. It is like a piece of steel. Just get well my friend, i want to see you on that motorcycle touring and camping again. Keep safe my friend, keep up the good work.
I'm doing well thanks John, almost completely healed now. I have a Brooks saddle on one of my bicycles, it has never really been that comfortable
@@WiltshireMan just keep taking things easy my friend. I am thnking for next year doing a tour of Wales on my motorcycle, doesnt matter how long as i am retired, just been looking at the map. I have arthritis in my knees, so have not really used my motorcycle in the five years i have had it, it has only done 100 miles, its a benelli trk502, the road version, so it will be my first long tour. Keep safe my friend.
Hope the Imp works out for you Sandy, I've a box full of saddles I couldn't get on with.
Get well soon mate, take it easy
Thanks Shewie
Hope you have a fast recovery from your crash mate.
It's an interesting tour and I hope you get a hot bath soon, hope you mend well. Sampling wild fruits while wandering around is something I try to do every year and if I can't stop, I make a little map of where to find it again. Please take care and rest up. Maybe you can get an x-ray scan and see what happened.
Hi Lucy, not much can be done with cracked ribs, I shall be OK soon, Not feeling too bad today. As for the Apple tree's I shall return to them next year with some bags to collect free food:)
Brooks C17 saddle once worn in, it totally changes the ride, I own two now they are so good.
Hey Sandy - hope the body isn’t feeling too shook at this stage! It’ll take time no doubt..Wonderful to see those apple trees to provide some sustenance and great that you’ve a drone to fly again 🤩 We certainly are moving into winter - a shock to the system at the weekend for me when out walking! The winter bag will be out now soon..heal well!
Thanks Miriam,
I felt the force of the impact but no pain at first. When I got up I could feel strange movement and hear cracking in my rib cage but continued on. The pain started to set in on the way home and got worse as time went by, also my body went cold so that could have been shock? But anyway as I sit here typing this I am virtually pain free, it only hurts when I move or breath deeply. Just have to rest up for a few weeks.....I can't see me doing that, I'll have to do something otherwise I'll go mad :) I will try and plan some gentle adventures
@@WiltshireMan👍🤩
Well first and formost, I really hope you are ok Sandy. rib injury's can be hard. I think we've all been there. I know I have. walked into a blind Gopher hole few years back went down like a rock and cracked two ribs. so I feel your pain. get well soon. And you had my mouth watering on those apples Hard to tell the variety now days there are so many variaty's of them. well over 20 I think. Speaking of that we're in a shortage of them here in Western New England we had an early frost back in the spring and it killed all the Apple Blossums so no apples to speak of most of the Orchards around here were hit hard. again get well Sandy and thanks for sharing. ECF
Thanks Ellis,
The apples were a real treat and there's lots of them going for free on a lot of the old railway lines that are now cycle tracks. I guess some of them are real old varieties too!
Get well soon Sandy
That was a bugger falling off on the chalk. I've found wet chalk to be the slipperiest surface of all.
I agree about Lycra, normal clothing does me and the only cycling thing is a helmet. I know some don't like them but it's a personal choice.
England sure is a beautiful place. The one problem is the number of people at landmarks and well known places. Plenty of lesser known sites if you're prepared to walk or cycle.
I'm very interested in the saddle. I find it hard to get a comfortable one but you've no idea if it's right until you've bought it and rode
on it. Maybe someone should set up a saddle library where for a small fee you could try different ones.🤔
Thanks for the video and I wish you a speedy recovery.
Hi Sandy , you did well to finish the ride. Take it easy now. Brilliant informative video as usual. going to get one of those saddles, Halfords list them, so thanks for that. Take care of yourself, an apple a day etc...😄
Hi John I hope the saddle will work as well for you as it does for me, well worth the money and they aren't too expensive either
Great video sandy, hope you are not too bruised. I know you don't like all the gear but a helmet is a must, you might have cracked your head.
Yes Marie I should have wore my lid :)
Get well soon Sandy , at least the bike was unscathed that’s always my thoughts when I hit the deck . Ribs can be very painful so take it easy . My kids laugh at me when I go cycling in jeans , we always cycled in jeans as kids . But I do own Lycra shorts 🔫😂👍
I took a tumble myself on Salisbury plain in June & thought I'd got away it but it seems I'd injured my lower back & was off work for a couple if weeks but thankfully I've made a good recovery,time is a healer I'm 63 so perhaps it takes a little longer
Glad to hear you have recovered Brett, it seems one step at a time, it's going to be a while before I completely heal but am getting there:)
So sorry to hear about your fall I do hope your alright that path looked very hard to fall on , I’m still recovering from a hi-side of my motorcycle , so I know how you feel .👍
Falling off your motorcycle sounds terrifying Donna, I hope you didn't get too badly hurt? I'm not doing too bad, a bit sore still when the pain meds wear off, I was told it could be weeks before things are properly healed
@@WiltshireMan sounds painful but good to see you back on your bike , your new suspension seat post looks very good along with your new saddle. I always enjoy your videos and with your mate👍🚴🏾♂️
I finally got my fork replaced. Hope to get out soon. I haven’t riden much in years. Hope to start out at a old school with an easy paved loop. Take care of yourself.
Ohhh no Sandy I’m so sorry. That can hurt for 6 weeks. I did that 2 years ago . It’s agony breathing. I had to sleep propped up in bed at night . Sending you our gentle hugs. Thank you for a lovely video and drone footage. The last apple looked like a Russet.
Hi Anne, Thanks for your good wishes:) That last apple was delicious, best I've ever tasted
great video,and with regards to the charge spoon its not a touring saddle to be fair.i have them on my mtb's but wouldnt want to be on them long distance sat down!
i agree with the rest aswell,you should have a lid on!get well soon.
Hope you get well soon ribs can be very painful thanks for sharing 👍
Hi sandy.
I was along the cycle path last week, stopped at the second apple tree got a good few windfalls.make good crumble.tarts.
There are 3 or 4 good tree's along there Robert. The russet was a particularly nice apple I thought
Hope your feeling better
Thanks Amante,
It has been a slow road to recovery, two steps forward and one back
@@WiltshireMan … Slow and steady, see you on the next one!!👍
Glad you’re not too banged up! I have found as time goes by that the ground is getting harder! It must be that the traffic must be compacting the track and making it more solid, right? 😂
Thats whats happening, too much traffic compacting the ground:)
OMG hope your OK chuck !!! So enjoyed the video and I also have this saddle on various bikes, just love it x
It's a great saddle aint it:) Certainly seems to work for me. Feeling a bit better today. Pain goes away when I stay still
@@WiltshireMan Nurofen !! Works for me x
Long time subscriber here from Ontario Canada good video!
Falling is never a good thing be careful for a few weeks till you heel.
Nice to see you have the DJI Mini 2 drone, I also have that drone I really like it, your right about the cost its unreasonable.
Here in Canada my Mini with an SD card and taxes it was $700 a year ago.
Sorry to hear sbout your tumble, hope you feel on top of it soon
Thank you for another fantastic video Sandy. So sorry you got injured. Wishing you a speedy recovery a very best wishes 👍
Sorry to see you hurt yourself Sandy.... Hope you heal quickly.
Thanks Mark
Hi Sandy,hope you’re ok after your spill,take it easy for a few days mate,you don’t think the pain are the apples making you ferment 👍,as I said take it easy & atb Colin P.
Hahaa No Colin not the apples fermenting. If I stay still then I'm virtually pain free. Only hurts when I move
I have the same saddle Sandy and have been riding it for 18 months. It's been great so far so I'm sure you will get many more comfortable adventures on yours 👍 a good investment. Hope you are feeling a bit better too after your tumble. Be good to see you and Dave out cycle touring again soon 👍
Great video - not the crash though!!!! Get well soon
Get well soon Sandy. Might I suggest you get some Diclofenec / Voltarol / Movealat gel to put on your ribs?
I had a similar fall 6yrs ago and cracked a rib, then the next year fell and fractured my upper left humorous (the first ride back hurt like blazes as I’d not used the muscles for a couple of months, but the second ride felt much better).
I tried a Charge Spoon on my Brompton, every road imperfection made its presence felt 😮. But I soon changed to a Brooks B17 Flyer.
Have you considered getting a Peli case (or similar) to protect your cameras & drone?
Feeling much better now thanks, still a dull ache but I'm off the pain killers now. Peli cases etc are fine but they add a lot of weight and bulk
Love watching you Sandy on all your bicycle rides and wild camps 🏕 hope you get better soon after your fall ❤
Great news about the saddle. My MTB hybrid bike has been standing under a shredded tarp for over 5 yrs as I stopped riding mainly because by butt was not at all enjoying it. Might see if I can get it running again and invest in a saddler. Lord knows I need the exercise.
Love the drone footage over Avebury and countryside - glad you are re-united with a drone.
Not great news about your rib - hope you have some good drugs and are on the mend.
Thanks for sharing.
Get that bike back on the road, the saddle I'm sure will help you, it's not overly expensive either. Everyone needs to get a little exercise, a minimum of 3 times per week and you don't need to go crazy, just a few minutes of cardio will do you good
Hope you are OK Sandy. Thank you for taking us on your Wiltshire journey. Your new Drone seems to work very well. Keep up the good work and Stay Safe.
I don’t often comment, but I do enjoy your films, just a quick message to say.
Sorry to hear about your bike accident and I wish you a speedy recovery.
I’m almost 60 now and I don’t bounce like I used to, all the best and take care, regards, Chris.
Thanks Chris, I shall be 61 tomorrow, hopefully I shall be back on the bike soon
@@WiltshireManHappy birthday 🎉 enjoy 61 and take care, all the best. 🍻👍👍
What a fantastic day sandy lovely video..hope the rip not too bad
I'll be OK in a few days Mike, got to be well for the weekend cos hopefully I'm off to Wales on the Himalayan
get well soon sandy.
All OK now thanks:)
Oh Sandy what are you like..? let me explain, your like a machine, you just get back up and get on with it.! Great Share mate. & i reckon you be back and fit very soon..
Spot on Chris, I shall be back on the bike soon, got to keep my leg strength up for future adventures
Just donated towards that drone using your Paypal link in your About section. Hope that rib gets better soon. I did a similar thing a while ago tripping over a root. It took quite a while to recover. 6 weeks I think the NHS website said. 👍
Ken... what can I say? Thankyou very much ! I didn't expect that.....But but...Thankyou:) If ever your passing Swindon let me know and call in, you'd be very welcome
@@WiltshireMan you are welcome. Will do mate 👍
Oh dear Sandy, sorry you took a tumble. You can ride for years without incident then bam 💥. Keep an eye on the rib, it should repair itself but if you get sore & redness, see a doctor! Another wonderful adventure. Cheers for bringing us along
Thanks Andy, no one is exempt it's just all part of the risks in life:)
Hi Sandy, last year I bought a Cyrusher Ovia bike. The saddle on that bike is the comfiest I have ever had. I am a big guy normally bike saddles are like sitting on a razor blade and are so uncomfortable over distances, but this one is great. Anyhow thanks once again for taking us along with you.
Hi Oshi, I have a couple of Cyrusher bikes and their saddles are quite comfy
Let's hope you have a speedy recovery and not out to long .
Thanks James
Sandy best to get an X-ray and get it checked out - get well soon and rest
Thanks Rob, I may do that but not sure they can do much
I'm glad you got a new drone, and I loved some of the footage in this vid, but above all else, I hope your rib is okay!
Hope your on the mend soon Sandy 👍👍.... Having broken a few ribs over the years I know exactly how uncomfortable and painful it feels... Here's to a speedy recovery 💪💪❤
Echo what others have said about the fall. A cycling buddy of mine has these saddles on all of his bikes even though he wears cycling shorts. I still use my Brooks (except on my Brompton) but one of these might be worth a go.
This saddle is much more comfortable for me than anything else I have tried including the Brooks fitted on my old touring bike Jonathan
Very sorry about the tumble you took sandy 🤨 time is a great healer its just the inconvenience bit inbetween thats a bugger 🙏 that new saddle seems to fit the bill 👌 So glad you got sorted with the drone as you put out wonderful footage , rest easy Sandy you can't be layed for Wednesday 🎉🎉🥃
Cheers Martin,
According to Dr Google ribs can take upto 4 to 8 weeks to heal and the best therapy is rest! I've got knives to build and videos to make, there's no way I can take that amount of time off. I shall just have to plod on gently
@WiltshireMan I've been off work 6 weeks sandy with a bad back ,,just thought I was healing nicely and boom it went again 🙈 🙏 it sorts itself out 👍
That was a lovely day for a ride and photos/video nice n bright, I like the look of that saddle, there’s nothing worse than feeling uncomfortable and getting pins n needles in your nether regions 🤭, hope you’ve not damaged yourself to badly, try some strapping tape over the damage area to stop your chest expanding n hurting, stay safe👍😎
Thanks Colin, the saddle really is a game changer
I've been doing a lot of cycling recently, I've just got a new Dutch cargo bike and I'm loving it, all my anxiety goes away when I'm on my bike. Hope the rib feels better soon👍
Riding a bike just gives a level of freedom that you rarely get any other way I find
Sorry about your crash Sandy... 😢
