inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 24 January 2021, broken.
On his bike out in warm sunny weather,
He crashed our while at speed, hell for leather,
He crashed into a boulder,
Thought “I’ve broken my shoulder”,
As he felt the two halves grind together.
The two most common cycling injuries are broken wrists and collar bones. When you’re about to crash, you either stay holding on to the handlebar, in which case the impace breaks your collar bone, or you put your hand out to save yourself, inb which case the impact breaks your wrist. It hurts.
I stopped riding a bike long ago. No doubt, I would have crashed and injured myself by now if I had carried on. I was not the best bike rider XD

I used to love my cycling, even cycled around Suffolk. Very flat. We stayed near… does Saxmundham sound right?

Ahh nice. I have never been to Saxmundham, although I imagine it’s somewhere near my hometown.

It can’t be too far as we visited Ipswich one day. But there was nothing really special about it, just that it happened to be the nearest town. Or if there was anything special, we missed it!

There’s nothing special about Saxmundham or Ipswich 😛

Ouch, indeed! Poor guy.
Serious note to all and sundry: NEVER move a person with a broken collar bone or try to straighten them up. It will be fatal in minutes if the jagged broken bone pierces the jugular vein.
