Connor had a
little accident on his way home from work this week. Jeff and I were out running errands and Connor had ridden his bike to work. Jeff texted him to tell him we were looking at cars and he should hurry home so he could go with. I think he hurried home a little too much. For those who don't know, Connor is an avid mountain biker....he has a nice bike with clip petals that clip into his biking shoes...however I don't think that was the problem. He said he was going pretty fast and went to slow down (in some gravel) and ended up going over the handlebars. He did have a helmet on, although not his gloves!
I was trying to get both his hands and his elbow...didn't work!

after we got him all cleaned up

This is really only his second crash...the first was speeding down a mountain, slowing in gravel (do you see the trend) and went over the handlebars -that time he cracked his helmet-this time he only dented it!
Luckily he drives a lot more cautiously than he rides a bike!
Wow! I know from experience those crashes on gravel are painful! Hope he gets better soon.
