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.

rand()m quote

Immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take and good poets make it into something better or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique utterly different than that from which it is torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. A good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language or diverse in interest.

—T.S. Eliot
