Weenie. Was that a girl in front of you not crashing?

Oh! I see the problem, you're from New Jersey and your body takes to the clean air like poison.
Mountain biking isn't fun unless you crash once and a while.
Mountain biking crashes don't hurt.
Road bike crashes land you in the hospital.
Ask me how I know. Years of mountain biking and no hospital visits. Three months of road biking, and I ended up in the hospital with a whole mess of stitches and broken teeth.
Hah! I'm the complete opposite! Sprained wrists, cracked ribs, rock rash, chipped a tooth, fat lip, bruises... you name it, my mountain bike has done it to me. Road bike? Nary a scratch (save for the occasional cog scratch)

Really? Road biking crashes are significantly worse usually. Mountain biking is almost fun to fall. Down hill biking hurts alot and with the possibility of infection. Road Biking you get MAJOR road rash but it's unlikely to get infected
Road rash stinks, but my cracked rib sucked a lot worse.

Maxi Pads work GREAT for road rash and they don't stick to the wound.
hmmm... ooookay. but there are some gel type bandages that you put on the road rash and leave 'em till they come off. Waterproof, airproof, reduce the scarring waaaay down.Maxi Pads work GREAT for road rash and they don't stick to the wound.

And you aren't walking around with a maxipad taped to your arm.
NO! the adhesive goes on the other side of the wound!And you aren't walking around with a maxipad taped to your arm.
Have you considered another passtime? Like one that doesn't hurt.
Here is evidence I know how to ride a bike. This time the camera is taped onto my handlebars. Check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_p5_6TsF10
huh? no from a 10 year old full suspension Klein. with 26 inch wheels pretty standard wheels.Looks like it was shot from a Big Wheel.
I dunno. Cycling may hurt on occasion, but there is something pretty fun about hopping on my bike before dawn and riding 120 plus miles to another friend's house. Yeah, crashing stinks, but it happens...
