h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Short version: I fell off my bike for no apparent reason. I have a few scrapes on my right side, and my left wrist is injured and slightly swollen. (I'm learning how to do things with only one hand now! Hopefully only short-term.)

My sympathies!

Last time I did that in earnest, I ended up with stitches in one arm and my nose had a major scratch and was sore and swollen for days - in fact so much that my daughter was in giggling fits whenever she saw me

Glad to hear of no broken bones or worse!

It might actually be a fracture -- given the lurid shade of black and blue that's been there practically since I got the brace, and the lack of any appreciable recovery since then, there's basically no way this is just a sprain.

I haven't had a bike accident since I was 10. But I remember it vividly, and there seemed to be no reason for it. Perhaps bicycles have brief moments of sentience that precipitate them into some sort of existential crisis, causing wobblies.
