It is all about bikes. Riding them and dreaming about them. But what if you can only do the latter because you’ve been side lined by injury. Riding bikes is supposed to be fun and awesome and the one thing that keeps your daily troubles away. Suddenly it becomes the daily trouble and consumes all of your time and energy. But you can’t really talk about it, because bikes is supposed to be about unicorns, butterflies and rainbows and not about a train wreck that moans and cries all the time. However, after two years of dealing with an on-going injury I have come to realise: it is okay to head butt the wall from time to time. It is okay to complain. So instead of writing about the most amazing bike trip I have been on, or the latest adventure my bike and I have had, I will tell you my slightly dark and twisted injury story. Hopefully I can help someone else in a similar position or just simply shed some light on the dark injured side of life.
