Unicycle?

Danger Panda Century.

Seriously though…. That sucks! It should just take a day or two for that to heal up enough that you can ride. Rock on!!!!

No.

This kid in my neighborhood rides a Mountain Unicycle and when I see him he likes to tell me about the latest upgrades. It’s all I can do to keep from breaking down crying.

This makes me tired and quiet.

Hadn’t heard of that before…googled it. Saw some pictures of some mountain biking…and some guy trying to ford a river on a Mukluk but his tires kept floating!!

Well…that’s what I’ve been forced to do. It is nice and calloused up now.

We used to use this when I ran track. Newskin. Ha! The cover picture is a cyclist. Nasty stuff and stings a bit to apply – we would use it on blisters, to put a protective coat on. It works pretty good.

Legs fine…head fine…bike(s) fine. I want to ride, and I’ve had the time. So what’s the problem?

I think the answer is pretty obvious…. cement over the yard and build a mini velodrome…. done!

Velodrome

GENIUS!

P.S. I don’t know how that helps with my hand injury but I like it ANYWAY!

Easy. By the time the wife & kids are done building your velodrome, your hand will be all better.

Fairfax County building regulations are such that it would be a really small Velodrome.

Turns out I’ve got room for one in the shop though: http://youtu.be/kghtRevkUJA

Hydrocolloid wound dressings work fantastic for these kind of injuries. They form a second gel like skin without any ointment and help keep moisture in (which is what you want when you’ve taken off a layer or two of skin – researchers have learned this in burn units). Really speeded up my healing when I shaved off a few layers off my hand in an accident last year when I wasn’t wearing gloves (won’t make that mistake again).

You can get them at well stocked CVS type stores. They are more expensive than typical bandaids/bandages but so much more comfortable and they really speed up the healing process. Make sure you have a size that covers the entire wound, and preferably not more than that. They do not have to be changed everyday.

I had blisters on both thumbs from an ill fated fight with some tires. I used some blister pack bandages. They have a blob of gel stuff on them that goes on the blister. It took a few days but my thumbs are almost healed.

I was using something similar to these, Bandaid “Compeed” style blister gel bandages. They wouldn’t stay on. The center of the palm is a weird area for bandages

HAHA…. brilliant! If you’ve got the room I’ve got the tools and machines to build it…. all we need is an insurance agent and lawyer to get on board!
