Not sure why, but I am enjoying this thread. Old guys and their aches and pains.
Last year I was out on my bicycle and I got to the top of a hill. Took a bit of a breather and pulled out my water bottle for a couple of sips. Foolishly started down the hill with water bottle still in hand. After I picked up some speed I took both hands off bike and took another sip of water. Went into a "speed wobble" and could not regain control. Flying down hill by this point and inevitably lost total control and crashed. Thankfully a passerby stopped to help me and called an ambulance. No breaks, but raw skin everywhere and ended up on IV for ten days due to infection. Body still shows multiple signs of trauma. Painful.
