Well, now is not a good time for us 'merkins in the Colonies to be buying imported trikes due to the weak dollar. Greenspeed trikes used to be a real bargain in the US when $1 AUS was worth about $0.55 US, but are much less so now that the Australian dollar has risen to over 90 US cents. -- Tom Sherman - Holstein-Friesland Bovinia The weather is here, wish you were beautiful |

Comments on Riding after broken wrist. Got tipped off on a pothole yesterday, and face 6 weeks in plaster. Didn't take the advice about not stopping the fall with hands - it all happened too quickly! Hands are very useful for stopping other more important parts, such as head, from hitting things! It's no so much avoiding stopping with hands as avoiding stopping with hands on the end of straight rigidly extended arms. Keep a bend in the elbow! For best recovery I'd start moving the hand and fingers around as soon as possible as much as possible, in order to preserve range of movement and stop too much muscle atrophy while in cast. After that build up strength slowly and cautiously by doing a lot of what doesn't hurt or feel strained, and as little as possible of what does. -- Chris Malcolm DoD #205 IPAB, Informatics, JCMB, King's Buildings, Edinburgh, EH9 3JZ, UK [http://www.dai.ed.ac.uk/homes/cam/] |
