The doc says that I should get back on my bike as soon as the immediate pain is past, as it prevents PTSD. That is, it'll prevent me from developing an anxiety about riding my bike in traffic.

In the meantime, though, I'll need to get the bike looked at. The rear wheel's not right.

Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there.

—Anton Chekhov
