Figure maybe posting this will make me feel a bit better. On a TOS new year ride managed to run over a stick that popped up and managed to punctured my shin.. pulled it out quickly and thankfully @Victor I had bandaids in his bag or I would've made quite the mess on the mile plus trek back to the car. As you can see, half that stick entered my leg... happy 2020, yay... took 5 stitches at the er, that bill should be fun

Oh shit! ? Before I read the post I thought it was a French Fry! Must have been some kinda magic bandaid to keep that shit together on the trek back. Heal up quick!

I know 2 guys who were off the bike for quite awhile after shin stick punctures and the infections that followed because they weren't cleaned thoroughly.
But that blood all over the bike is half the fun ?

I can see that happening. Luckily he sought prompt medical attention. My concern is getting someone safely out of the woods to the professionals as soon as possible. When riding technical terrain(which is every weekend) I wear knee pads but after Dan’s puncture am now looking for a knee shin pad combo.

The running joke after someone wipes out begs the question, is the bike OK?

i'm worried about the infection for sure. I went to urgent care first and they irrigated and the dr said i should prob go to the ER to get a x ray to check for debris. They irrigated again and stitched me up, but things are pretty swollen at the moment and they didn't give me any antibiotics either so i'm just hoping for the best!

Sale at Campmore $7.99. Just a very basic kit but is compact and waterproof. I like how it has a mountain bike on the packaging. Our sport does get acknowledged once in a while.

There's only one thing to do. Cut off the leg and give your bike to me so it gets ridden until you can grow a new leg! 😱 JK Heal up and get back at it, (need picture of wound for effect).
The ultimate in carrying more than you need. Is there anything that will fit in steerer tube? Lol

It’s compact, very lightweight and fits in my back pack. Different strokes for different folks.
