Well it's 4 1/2 weeks later and I can happily say all the pain and weirdness is gone. :) I'm ready to get back on the bike within the next few days. Thanks for all the help!

Well it's been 3 weeks since the fall and my side still bugs me but I can at least move around and do most of everything. Not being mobile is a challenge. I did take the bike out for a 1/2 mile ride so I wouldn't be afraid to get back on it. I went on a hike with a friend to the spot I fell...

Newbie here didn't realize these were options. I like the idea of elbow pads in particular.

Very helpful as always Stefan! Interesting way to 'fall' then, going slow enough so you can brace the fall with a foot.

Just a helmet. Is there anything else I should be wearing? I do have some old rollerblading elbow, knees and wrist pads. But in this fall although I got some dirt rash on the skin, my general core/right hand side is just achy. I don't think anything protective other than say a giant pillow...

Wow only 1/8 of an inch causing a wheel to be trapped! Astounding. I really did not know these ruts were so problematic.

I don't ride in the rain either, and the front fender on my Tero also bent quickly when taking the front wheel off for transport in my car. I have removed the front fender which is super easy. The back fender I'll keep on until it bugs me. These bikes are really fabulous. I almost bought a...

Super helpful. Since this is all new to me I have been very focused when riding my Tero. I'm trying to figure out so many things that I don't really drift off. That is great advice for anytime not on a paved road. I do have some old knee and elbow guards from rollerblading. I think I am...

I have been dropping the seat going downhill, but hadn't thought of using it in difficult terrain. I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are saying here. Brake a little and put more weight on your feet? I remember knowing that I was falling but I can't imagine in that brief second doing...

I didn't realize soft sand had that affect. The bike is a dream.

So helpful Stefan. I'm very impressed you were back up there so soon. I did not know that rutted roads were so dicey. We don't really have them around here so I didn't think all that much thought other than that I was a bit confused. I do always wear a helmet. Only the little sun thing was...

Wow. That's quite a fall. Glad your still riding.

Glad you healed on your own. I probably should have turned around when I saw the ruts.

Your hardcore. I doubt I will ever be doing these kinds of things. And if I did, I would just turn around happily.

My first four rides on my new bike were very enjoyable. I didn't stretch myself too much as I am getting used to riding a traditional bike again. I rode both on dirt trails and pavement. I think having a mountain bike has really opened up where I can go and enjoy the ride without having to...

hmm... hadn't thought through that scenario as it isn't really all that likely and if it were would probably be only a few inches deep around here. But I could see that could be necessary in places where it rains all year.

I use the walk mode.

Of all the things I can comment about, I don't find the Tero X heavy. I'm not the strongest person in the world by any means, but I find it quite reasonable to load into the car (electric of course 😁 ). It may be that after many years of putting my recumbent in an SUV, it feels about the...

Yes you did. As someone whose primary car for the last 14 years is electric, I wanted to emphasize this a little more...To me the default is electric...

With an electric car you don't need any gears! 😁
