I was cycling too fast on the streets of Amsterdam 2 weeks ago, and I hit another person's bike. I flew off my bike and made impact with my elbow and ribcage before (quite luckily) rolling out of it. No one hit their heads, thank the stars, but I will replace the other bike's rear wheel to the tune of €75. I got off cheaply, frankly.
What I miss most is my mobility and previously unbroken rib bones, so I am making a conscious decision to slow down while riding in the city, and replacing my normal workout with yoga for the next month. Most importantly, I finally got the message that injury prevention is equally as important as any other aspect of fitness. I am sick of losing time in my athletics simply because I was careless. Therefore I will be adding academic time to my athletics schedule for researching technique and injuries.
With patience, understanding, and yoga...I will become a better me.
