How many times are you going to tempt fate? You already had an accident which makes it so you can't easily ride a regular bike anymore and yet here you are on an e-bike. I don't really want an answer, just more expressing my dismay. Good luck!

That was a pretty bad accident but the mechanics of it were - retrospectively - quite predictable. It's just that a low recumbent seemed very safe right up to the second that it wasn't.

Anyway, those two really don't compare, and I can ride a regular bike just not quite as easily as before. Those screws and the steel really should be taken out but between COVID and work there hasn't really been a 3 month gap where I figured I would chance it, because it's a full recovery after that again.

Thanks for the concern though, and I'll try to stay in one piece.
