I was interested to see the thread on knee issues, as I have a similar question about hips. Unfortunately, last Friday night I was riding a bike lane downtown, and a car door opened up suddenly in front of me, which threw me and Homer to the ground. Homer came out fairly well, but I ended up with a broken femur that was surgically repaired the following day .Police investigated and the driver was cited, and I expect to be compensated by his auto insurance. Being in Boulder, nearly everyone taking care of me, including the surgeon, are avid bikers, and are assuring me that I will make a full recovery from this injury, probably back on the bike in a couple months. But I'd be interested if there are any of the "folks like us" out there (i'm 54 years old) that have gone through this and if they have any wisdom to provide, Also, when your bike is in a crash like that, I assume you should have a competent mechanic give it a through inspection to make sure things are ok. Any other words of wisdom for assuring the safety of a crashed bike? I'm finishing up day 2 after surgery and am doing well and feeling fine. Other than the hip, just a touch of road rash and a bruise from where my shoulder hit the door. This was a case where wearing the helmet probably saved me from a closed head injury. Jim in Boulder
