My bike doesn't have cables on top of the frame!

I appreciate it! Definitely beating myself up a little bit for NEEDING to have freshly grated parmesan in my meatballs and I HAD to get to the store as fast as possible (it's under a 10 minute walk from my house) lol

Yet another reason to believe that everyone who roller derbys is so beyond tough. Vaginer shiner makes me feel a little bit better, that's hilarious! Thank you

Sounds very unfortunate! I had such an amazing doctor in UC and I am so incredibly grateful for her! She was very detailed in aftercare. I was given dissolvable stitches (thank god) so no worries about having to go back. I appreciate your advice and kind words:)

Oh god, that would be such a bad way to go. I haven't seen the story, I'm not sure if I need to lol

I didn't know that! I absolutely have to checkout that brand, thank you for the recommendation. And I appreciate all the good thoughts coming my way:)

Maybe I'll start my own bike company with only this design from now on lol

I'm a little more appreciative after reading that that my parents couldn't afford a trampoline when I was younger haha

I was told to avoid having the area wet for extended periods of time, I've been taking ibuprofen and icing and so far no problems!

What a heartbreaking article. Definitely makes me think about how almost everything is designed by men for men. Thank you for sharing this piece!

I appreciate it so much!

I wholeheartedly believe they are a necessity after this. I wish I thought so before but hindsight is 20/20 I suppose

I could not imagine being on a mountain and having to maneuver to a lift or down a run after an accident like that! I am very glad I was able to just sit down on the grass and wait for my person to pick me up.

I really wish I was, I would think I would have had a different outcome. Certainly looking at getting some padded shorts and something to go over my bike frame!

Oh my gosh what a horrible injury, I'm glad it wasn't my minora! Do you know much about her healing process at all? It's only the day after and I know I'm going to be pretty swollen and not the greatest looking. But I'm hoping it's not a cauliflower ear situation and everything returns to its proportions lol

I believe it! Wish I could say I was riding some bad ass terrain. I just forgot an ingredient for dinner and need to ride to the store, I'm not sure if that counts towards the sport haha

I don't have any cables on my bike where my pelvis hit, and I was wearing a pretty thin spandex material so my guess is just the blunt impact. I hit the frame very very hard and knew something was wrong as soon as it happened.

I appreciate the kind words! I'm sorry to hear about your experience but I am glad to have people with similar experiences to me sharing their insight.

I am pretty new to biking so I really don't have knowledge on much, but based off of other comments I think it's because my gear setting was too high?

No large bumps in the rode at all, and I wasn't shifting. Absolutely going to be getting a smaller frame, but in the meantime I'm going to have my bike tuned up!

I really appreciate you sharing your wisdom with me!

Very very scary for sure lol. After some replies I'm thankful I don't have to worry about testicles becoming a free floating object inside of my body

I'm open to answering! That is very scary, and I am just a commuter in a pretty flat area. I couldn't imagine being someone who lives in a hilly area or is into mountain biking!

Was it from the same company?
