Guseppi...the One-armed bike rider....
Aug 30^th, 2010 at 6:04pm

Well Joe is going to be one-armed for awhile. He was dropping off the van for service and rode his bike home. Went down a side street just in time for some woman to open her car door. Ass over tea-kettle up over the door of her car CRASH! Right in front of his brother Paul's house.

Ambulance ride, back board, neck brace, xrays...pain meds....turns out his shoulder has soft tissue damage and some alignment problems. Have to wait for the swelling to go down before we know more.

It's his right side and he's right-handed. He might be a little slow on the boards for a few days.

Reply #2 - Aug 30^th, 2010 at 6:32pm When I first saw the pic, I thought that you had bought some overalls after wearing mine but I see I was wrong. Christy says that you are in quite a bit of pain but I suppose it could have been worse. Hang in there Sarge and heal up for March. Love you bro.....

So sorry to hear this news and to see that "oh so pitiful" picture Joe! Yikes!

So, did the police charge the person who opened the car door.

I work in accident benefits for auto insurance so these kinds of things always interest me. Hopefully you have filed a claim for benefits?

Take good care - and heal fast!

Thanks for the well wishes! For those of you I haven't told....I have modified my cross country bike journey plans. I am no longer going solo, going with a group of 14 people, organized by Adventure Cycling. Negatives are I won't be able to do any side trip visits. Up side is when I do something stupid like this I'll have someone else there to assist me. Christy liked that!!! Wink

The not driving Christy nuts part is the key to my happiness!! Grin

The poor young lady who opened her car door was about 26 with a load of toddlers she was dropping off at pre school...and the poor thing was just mortified by what she'd done! The officer doing the crash investigation is a friend of mine and I told him I had no interest in having the kid cited. She has insurance so all my bills will get paid! Wink

High School Gazzette

In the first week of a new school year, sophmore Rich Kimble reported his homework stolen on the way to school, saying a one-armed bike rider snatched it. He now feels he's a fugitive of justice and says he'll look for this rider until the end of the semester to clear his name. Seven others arrived in class the following day with the same story.
Last year several students investigated a mysterious, fog-shrouded yacht named IT'S ALL MINE OUCH, leaving their homework aboard. Docked briefly in San Diego, it was never seen again.

Sorry to hear, Joe. Sad

I've seen some careless door-opening and been watchful myself, I see she was very distracted. Dangerous bad break.
