It wasn't too long ago that I visited a friend in NUH. Today, I was there again to see a friend who crashed while commuting home after a 3.5 hour bike session. He was avoiding the curb, got caught in a depression and fell hard on his shoulder and head. Good thing the helmut cushioned the head, but not so lucky the shoulder. A broken collar bone that required surgery.
He was in good spirits even though his right arm was in a sling, and the aviva race was down the drain. His entire year might be affected, for the collar may take 2 months to heal.
I took to heart the lesson reinforced yet again: Always be alert on the roads, even at low speed.
Now to check whether my insurance policy is still valid...
