Wain sure banged himself up good yesterday.
He was riding his bike in the HEB parking lot when his pedals missed a beat and he lost control. He broke his fall with his face and knees and skidded about six feet. Then he rode home all bloody.
This is by no means the worst bike wreck he's had. Not even close. Other memorable Wain bike mishaps include (but are by no means limited to): Wain getting hit (gently) by a Capital Metro bus; Wain riding into the side of the 51st Street 7-Eleven headfirst; Wain riding too fast, falling, tearing a bunch of ligaments, and dislocating his shoulder. He incurred a huge ambulance bill on that last one because virtually no one we knew had a car at the time. He asked some nearby cops for a ride to the hospital, and they insisted on calling EMS.
So this? Pretty gory, but by Wain standards, not very impressive. Still, for his general welfare, I think we should chip in and get him one of those poky old lady tricycles with a big cushy seat.
