So just got back into biking this year and have been loving it. Then two weeks ago I hit myself hard right in the perineum. Honestly doing nothing crazy just came over a small hill and I felt a pop. Turns out I ruptured my urethra right before the bladder. I’ve had a catheter in for 2 weeks and I’m about to get it taken out and continue my recovery.
This was a random injury and I’m going to keep biking but I’m taking precautions to not have it happen again. So I’m buying a new bike. I’ve lined up this bike with the thoughts that it’s better setup to be gentler on any landings. Previously I had a cheap hardtail. Any advice on this bike or on my riding style to protect myself better in the future? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Also I’m getting this bike for 1350$ did I do well in that?
