still recovering - back to crutches, then walking with a stick, then running - then hopefully riding again!

If your bike has a centre stand, beware of parking on slight inclinations... When I first started riding, I pulled into a spot where the back of the bike was slightly lower than the front. When I pulled it up on the centre stand I noticed it was easier than normal to do. However, when I left the shop and tried to rock the bike forward, I couldn't do it on my own. I had to go back into the shop and ask a worker to come help me, and the worst part was that I asked someone who only had one arm because I hadn't noticed his handicap...

:oops!:
