Default Bike Parked for a While

I guess I won't be riding anytime soon. I broke a bone in my foot while getting ready for work this morning. I got my toes caught in an area rug and didn't know it until I had taken a step and the rug only went so far. To make matters worse, it looks like I'm gonna need knee surgery before summer is up. THIS SUCKS!!! Hell, I may as well sell my bike....NOT.

Man, thats a drag, at least you'll have time to ride after repairs are made, seasons kinda short up here. Hope for a speedy recovery.

What did you break a metatarsal? Football (soccer) players break one of those bones pretty frequently over here takes awhile to heal. That sucks, but when it heals and you ride again you'll forget all that frustrating waiting.

Thanks all...Monochrome, they didn't tell me the name of the bone, but it is right above and below the joint (ooh, did someone say joint?) of the pinkie toe. Hell, I'd ride if I wasn't in a cast, but I bet it would be a beotch getting that thing over the seat and then not being able to use the back brake. No surgery is scheduled, except possibly having to have knee surgery later this summer. If that happens, I'm gonna.....
