Should you get back on after a fall?

Gina Kolata, my favorite science writer at the NYTimes, has an article this week about why it is so incredibly scary to fall off a bicycle.

The scariest line:

“Well, you’ve joined the proud majority of serious cyclists who’ve busted a collarbone.”


I haven't broken any limbs - and I've fallen twice on my head - and both times a helmet has left me feeling fine.  It's good she wrote this article in the autumn when most of us are waiting until spring to get back on our bikes!
