It was absolutely all of the road rash I experienced along the left side of my body that was the most uncomfortable. When I experienced my first bad crash that led to a fancy ambulance ride and multiple stitches above my eyebrow, it was actually not the cut over my eye that hurt or bothered me, or even took a long time to heal. The momentum of our fall tends to lead to us sliding along the pavement, and these skin abrasions that we experience are commonly referred to as “road rash.” Some of us do it more often, some of us do it less often, but if you ride a bike on pavement, chances are at one time or another you have found yourself a little bit closer to that pavement than you would otherwise like! All of us cyclists, at one time or another, have fallen off our bikes.
