Dear Zwifting Friends,
Just a quick message to ask whether you all know of any online groups for cyclists who have been hit by cars. My husband was hit Friday evening while out cycling and while he is very lucky in very many ways, he has a fractured kneecap and two very painful knees right now. He is a super avid cyclist… Some of you may have seen my posts talking about Zwifting so I can get fit enough to ride with him now that we are empty-nesters. I think he will need more friendship and support than I know how to give while he heals and comes to terms with what has happened. We are wildly grateful that he is alive and that his injuries are not worse. His Strava has been a big part of his riding and I can’t quite imagine the next weeks and maybe months as he is not able to go out and chase the KOMs… I am utterly at a loss as to what to say and do. I thought this might be a place I can ask… I hope it’s ok here. And I would guess Zwift will be a big part of his physical therapy when he gets his brace off. Help.
Thank you for any ideas you might have,
Beth
. I will look for you, Alex on Strava and let my husband know. Houston is seriously the most dangerous place we have ever lived as far as cycling is concerned. My husband is from Germany where certainly accidents happen too, but in general people are so much more aware that bicycles are an accepted part of the traffic. Here we have a lot of oblivious drivers and even openly hostile ones.
