Ate some asphalt today on my bike ride. Somebody dumped some mattresses and a couch on the side of the highway, and instead of going around them by going on the highway, I thought I could squeeze between them and the curb. It didn't work out.

Was able to get back up after a bit only a little worse for the wear and finish 25 miles, but not looking forward to getting out of bed in the morning 😏 

 Oh dear. You and @rabble have not had a good time this week. 

 Don't use bicycles, they are very dangerous. 

 Comes with the territory I suppose! I've only started cycling this last year, still figuring it all out. 

 I may have bruised or cracked a rib. Probably not worth getting checked out (what are they gonna do, fix it?), but surprised how well the adrenaline in the moment masks injuries, until it doesn't...
