I fell on my bike today....the gears slipped and i landed on my knee, smashed my knee pretty good, got ice on it right now. I always say I am a good rider, been riding all my life. But this goes to show you, it doesnt matter how seasoned a rider you are....you can still take a tumble! oh well, i will just lie down with ice on it and watch movies today

You should come over to my house to watch movies. I've got a new 73" Mitsubishi 1080p HDTV and a Blu-Ray player. Just got a new copy of the Rolling Stones "Shine a Light." I have to leave for work, but my home theatre is yours for the night. I've got some great Sony Wireless headphones should the neighbors complain about the noise.
Really...take care of that knee!

Thanks Rick....hey you want to know what a baby I am? I still haven't looked at my knee. I scanned it quickly with my peripheral, and saw blood and stuff....and looked away. Got ice on it and I am so squeamish to look at gorey things, so I am just simply not going to look at it. But I showed my neighbors and saw all the looks on their faces...and that scared me enough to not look at it myself! I have a severe phobia of blood. Anyway, that's what a chicken I am. LOL

Update....I just looked at it...big gash in my knee....about 3 inches long and a few other surrounding abrasions...no biggy I'm sure! I wonder how it's going to feel tomorrow...

I will go to the doctor if it doesn't stop bleeding cause I may need a stitch...or if the pain is really bad tomorrow then I might need some T3's. (Tylenol 3, with codiene)
Other than that, I am a big baby and too scared to look at my booboo....lol

I think the real danger is not from infection, but that you may have dislodged your kneecap. Chica is right...you may need to get to a doc.

Thanks guys... (and dolls) It's much better today, the mobility is practically all back now, just a little residual soreness... One thing I have decided though....and I never would have thought I would do this, but I am buying a helmet. And knee pads, cause now I know how fast things can turn, suddenly you are flying through the air and smashing onto the ground, and if a car hit me, lord knows. I've never ridden with a helmet in my life, but I am going to now....cause I may have smashed my knee, but it could have been my head.

I have a bike helmet. I even had a rear-view mirror that clips onto the helmet. I'm told it's "cute." I don't know if I like that!
