cycle Palestine: CHAPTER 9 - INJURIES

Tom’s Face Plant
 
Tom unfortunately landed on his face on the first day and had concussion, which meant that he couldn’t cycle the rest of the way, but became Bicycle Repair Man instead.

Dislocated Elbow
 
The use of cleats can be hazardous if you don’t get your foot out fast enough.  The hired bikes didn’t have them, but we had a couple of falls, so they’ll probably be discouraged on future rides.  We had one dislocated and fractured elbow as a result, and an excuse to muck about in the hospital.
