It's Just Like Riding A Bike......

[downshift_me]

is the dumbest phrase of all time.

I decided to go buy a bike and hit the Trinity Trails this afternoon in hopes of it not killing my back like running does. Plus, I thought it'd be therapeutic and maybe I'd sleep for the first time in days. Wrong. The only therapeutic part will be painkillers. A guy rode down the middle wobbling and over towards me and I got startled. Next thing I know I'm flying over the bike down a huge gravel/rock hill right towards the Trinity River. Of course, wobbles didn't stop, but luckily I had a friend with me. I hit my noggin, tore up my left leg/thigh, both arms and hands. My face and twins are okay. I collected lots of gravel down my top, though. After anxiety attack from hell went away I somehow managed to bike back 5 miles uphill. So, next time I hear someone use that phrase I'm going to assume the task at hand sucks.


Any other decent places to ride in Fort Worth where an idiot who jumps on a bike after 10 years won't die?

Lmao maybe you should get a sidecar

Glad your OK. Back in May I got on my bike for the first time in 3 or 4 years 'cause of a stroke . Made about 20 feet before the wobbles won.

Not near the crash you had.

Hang in there.

Might be too far from Ft. Worth but Champion Trails in Irving is a fair run for starters.

I like White Rock when I can get there.

I would've thrown the bike into the river.


I second white rock lake also.

Paved trail in NRH. (Forget the name)

Knob Hill off 377 in Roanoke has easy sections but it can get narrow and people don't always go the right way.

Ride the paved sections of Horeshoe Trails in Grapevine.

Few other places Ill try and think of

LOL I hopped on a bike for the first time in many years, and even riding a motorcycle doesnt keep you in the habit. It didnt help that I was about 8 beers at the time.

I was on the sidewalk is the sad part. I have compression wrap ice packs on the 2 worst areas which are full of fluid. I'm going to give it another try if I can walk tomorrow.
