Beware of algae on the Lakefront Trail

I wiped out while biking near the planetarium this morning and dislocated broke my shoulder. The pavement on the lower level by the looks wet but is also very slippery algae. Please avoid at all costs!

I learned that lesson years ago - near Ohio St beach.  Looks wet - but slick as hell and you can not control the bike.  The only good thing about that is you slide forever until you hit dry ground and then OUCH!~

Yikes! Unfortunately, I landed right on dry concrete and only slid a little bit. I had an appointment with the orthopedics department today, and my humeral head is slightly impacted - my shoulder absorbed most of the impact, I guess :/

How are you healing up?

I'm feeling pretty good!! I have an appointment on Thursday for follow-up x-rays and possibly an MRI but I am feeling optimistic that I won't have to have rotator cuff surgery. Thanks for asking <3

Good. 

I did see that they put up signs the other day.
