A3. I've had a friend pick me up when I was tired and it was getting dark. That was decades ago. More recently (but still perhaps a decade ago) I picked myself up out of the gravel on which I'd fallen and cycled home while hoping the road rash would stop seeping blood.
I've become pretty adept with things like flats, broken cables, etc. I can at least limp home (touches wood ... )
@rand @ascentale @nickzoic @bikenite I was only halfway through cleaning myself up when my partner walked in and nearly fainted.
I think that may also have been the time I learned that road rash isn't going to heal up in a couple of days like it did when I was a teen ...
and it does hurt many many days! I don't know any cyclist who has no such experience @rand @ascentale @nickzoic @bikenite
