High Wheel accident Hand 'redecoration' 7-4-94
A moment's hitch on the seat sent my pedalling knee into the bar, and locked the wheel & over I went at @ 10 mph. Reflex put my hands before my head & only soft tissue,not bone, took the brunt. Coarse new broken stone pavement dug towards bone, but I slid instead of snapping things.
Six year old carpal tunnel scars stood up well, running above & below the half dollar sized 'oopses'. Nothing to stitch back, just grow back.
I'm smiling 'cause high wheel 'headers' often are worse..like game over... '~'.
My glasses somehow stayed on. Hi wheel pals, 1/4 mile ahead, only heard my small "ai!" , as momentum, inertia & gravity took over. The rider is 'swatted' with the wheel's turn from a height of eight-ish feet to the hard pavement, headfirst, in less than a heartbeat. Small wonder the Big wheels are 'extinct' and the modern 'safety' bikes swiftly took over.
Unicycles, of any height are waay safer, though less stylish and less comfy for distances.
Tall bikes, well, are hard to resist, plus you can coast, & knees, handlebars & pedals can't clash...as much.....
Happy July 4th, 1994 !
