Come on, most of us are just sitting around burnishing our fingertips on a small piece of glass. Any more details on how you wound up looking at an xray of you

  I started mountain biking around 2 years ago. I think my front suspension is too soft for my weight, so both times the front wheel got in a trough(?) and the suspension gave in too much, making me fly over the handlebar. The tibia was because the bike landed on my leg after flying over me. I'm reconsidering my life choices regarding MTB, since I'm already in my 40s and made zero exercise for at least 20 years. But this time I learned. I will never risk it in the summer, since those sunny days are way to valuable for spending the time on the bike instead of recovering. I told me this last year, and this time it definitely sunk in. "Be careful, you're not a teenager". But it makes so much fun. It is so good to breathe in that fresh air and to exercise hard, I always end up with a smile. Too bad I didn't start with this 20 years ago. I had the chance.

    Thank you!!! I'm in your same boat, maybe worse b/c I'm deep into my 40's, but just never really did much outdoor activity. When I was a kid there was all sorts of federal lands around that we could really roll around in however we liked. Where i'm at now it's a 40 minute drive to trails, so it's just streets and other people's property. :/ Just now getting set up to get more time outside . Sounds like i should take a lesson from your pain. :) Hope you get feeling better soon and get back out there (if maybe a tick lower kinetic energy :) (also i meant to put a smiley in my first reply, sorry for coming across as a dick)
