As a (relatively) keen cyclist the last few months have been tough. Wondering if anyone is/has been in the same boat.
I was in an accident in October - I skidded descending and was hit, pretty hard, by an oncoming car. I banged up my hands (needed an op to refix thumb /finger) and have really struggled with Post-Concussion Syndrome. Only done 2 very short rides since and neither was at all comfortable - nausea, hands too sore etc. My grip pressure is"very poor" (according to Dr's report) so breaking/ turning etc is painful. Riding seems to rattle my brain around. Combined with memories of the hit it's taken away my desire to ride - well not entirely but the way it feels now is not what it was!
I haven't been at work since the accident - hoping to go back soon in phased way - and my lovely Bianchi was totalled 😥 So it's been a tough time. Zwift and a bit of running have been keeping me sane although I went over on my ankle running last week and it has swelled up crazily- FFS!
Sorry, just wanted to post a great big moan really. I miss my bike, I miss riding my bike and I miss wanting to ride my bike!
