Dislocated My Right Elbow!



After a month of planning, weeks of preparing, and days of installing a child bike seat on my bike, we went out for our maiden voyage. Unlike the stroller, Dario seemed to be enjoying the ride from the start and didn't complain about being strapped into the bike seat. My wife got on her bike, and the three of us started riding around the block. Things were going fine until about the halfway point, and Darío got spooked by the passing cars, after taking a short break to console him, we went through the turnaround point and were heading back, and because there was so much construction we were slowing down and suddenly I lost my balance going down a steep incline. Normally I would've bailed out but since Darío was still attached to the bike that was not an option, and I tried to break our fall with my hand instead of trusting the equipment since we hadn't really tested it. I failed to have the presence of mind to use good Wing Chun and keep my elbow bent, and as we touched down. Snap, crackle, and pop! Chalk it up karma!
