This morning, being the totally with-it and sharp guy that I am, I slipped at the top of the stairs and slid down to the landing. Fortunately for me, that's only about 7 stairs, and the stairs are pretty cushy.
I've got a nice rugburn on one wrist and, of course, a pain in my ass. Laugh if you will, but I just went out to run some errands on my bike, and the humor ended within a block.
If you've never had the experience of riding with a severely sore ass, you probably don't know just how much abuse your butt takes while riding. After riding less than 5 miles this morning, I've come to the conclusion that one's butt carries 173% of your weight while riding, and that's not even counting the extra force when you accelerate. Sure, you can try and bear your weight on your legs, but you won't get far.
So, I've taken some excedrin, and now I'm sitting here wondering just how hellacious my ride to an interview this afternoon will be.

I did the EXACT SAME THING a few weeks ago and tweaked my ankle pretty good. I remember my first 5+-hour day on my bike when it was new - I ordered a Corbin seat the next day. If you can find a sheepskin pad, they help a lot...
