I went down to get a new saddle on my bike today. Was headed back home for lunch and got rammed by a moped coming out of a blind alley way too fast... Spent the rest of the day in the emergency room.

I'm okay - just bruises and bumps... I got xrays and ultrasounds to check my ribs and my liver cuz the darn handlebar punched me in the right side... but everything checks out fine... liver is fine - ribs are bruised but don't appear to be broken... And of course I was wearing my bike helmet - not that my head went anywhere near hitting anything but I found it reassuring to know I had it on properly, just in case...

The moped rider has a broken leg...

Anyways - I won't be riding for a few days... and I'll see when I'm up to working out again. Alex was an incredible sweetie thru the whole thing - and quite convinced that my working out helped me not get hurt worse than I was...
