Default Wear your helmet

It all depends on how quickly I can walk more freely and get down stairs. I am being told it's a 4-6 week process. This is my Trek 5.2 Madone. Carbon Fiber road bike. It's pretty super. 15lbs equipped. I was doing about 19mph when I hit a bump on the trail which deflected my wheel. That flopped me over and landing with a lot of weight on my hip. Fortunately, I also had my helmet on which saved my head from being cracked open.






Styrofoam is cracked through under the plastic casing. So it could have been much worse.
Wear your helmet!
