Most common Bicycle injuries

Dear Ask The Doctor: Hello, This was the category I felt was the best for my question. I would like ot know, what the most common injuries are, after a crahs with you bicycle?

Dear Julie: 

First of all, when riding a bicycle you should wear protective gear meaning: helmet and padding, because one of the most serious of all bike injuries is a head injury. If you do develop an ache, pain or injury while cycling, it is likely to be among the following: knee pain due to Patellofemoral Syndrome, hand numbness due to ulnar nerve lesion. On the other hand if you crash you could have: sprains and strains, clavicle fracture, long bones fractures, abrasions and road rash, and of course a concussion or skull fracture. Whether you are riding to the corner store or across the country, you should be comfortable on your bike and wear the protective gear at all times. If you have neck, back, or knee pain, saddle sores, or hand or foot numbness, your bicycle probably doesn't fit you properly. So you have to make sure that the saddle is adjusted right, also the handlebar has to be at a comfortable height.
