I, too like Eric, have succumbed to the bad road surface. Took a right turn on to a side street with fresh "seal coat" which is a euphemism for small extremely sharp bits of gravel the consistency of crushed glass mixed with tar and dry dirt. Went down on the drive side on the protovelo. At least Erin was far enough behind me so she and the Quickbeam didn't go down as well. Bloody knee, bloody arm, just shy of a broken collarbone. Erin takes one look at my arm and sets into motion an entire day of urgent care. When I finally got in to see a someone who 1) was in my insurance network and 2) could sew stitches, the doctor went back and forth between calling the gash on my arm "the Grand Canyon" and "the Alps". Much scrubbing and senescing--in addition to chunks of stone, the even found a bug crawling around! Nine big stitches and 7 hours later, I am resting on the porch with ibuprofen and Jameson's--a winning combination. I have led a rambunctious life to date, but this was the first time I had to get stitched up. Thank heavens the Riv came through fine; just a few scratches. All in all, no boken bones and no broken bike. I was lucky. Advice? As you turn, mind the pavement for sand, leaves, and viscous nasty seal coat.
