Is life normal? Good question. I guess if you have had some bodily injury then life is not normal. This website has an article on rehabilitation for injuries. What is says may be something that needs to be kept in mind. We ride a lot and we have dropped the bike two time while I was on it and then he has dropped it once more. If we had been moving we might have been hurt and what I read about the joints and the spinal cord is something to keep in mind. No on ever plans on getting hurt but accidents do happen.
