Today's ride

It was a good ride today to work. Until...
I had gone about 26 km and was doing about 30 kph. Coming towards a set of lights I tried to dodge a truck stopped waiting for green that had not left me enough room to pass on the inside. I decided to head up a driveway just before the truck, to get on the footpath for a few metres, but as I turned the front wheel it lodged in a rut, and I fell heavily.
I was a bit confused, and, while I felt no pain at the time, during the day my head, face, neck, collarbone, arm and hip began to hurt. Since riding home the various contusions are now making themselves known, and my hands and wrists are also hurting.
I certainly understand from this why broken collarbones are such common cycling injuries.

Dr. Douglas Prasher, now an Alabama truck driver, is the real brains behind a US Nobel Prize win.

This sort of thing must happen all the time.
