So for the last few months been riding my one relatives old road bike in the hopes of getting into better fitness I have been riding about 35 miles or so every other day. The issue is that it is a old bike where the shifters are in shitty spot and there is no way to tell when you are going into a near gear until you get into it. Also my rear break is shot the cable leading to it is snapped. I am currently without work so cannot get it fixed or a new one which would be my goal. Well today I was going on my ride when about five miles out from my house I hit something in the road have no idea what it was but wound up flipping over the front handle bars and got some pretty bad road rash and thinking that I bused the area around the lower part of my rib cage. So it is not looking like I will be able to go riding again until my rib cage feels better since it is sore just sitting and leaning over a little typing this let alone ridding a bike.
