I had a pretty bad crash in July of last year. I was taking a corner in a shady area of a paved bike path and my rear tire slipped in some algae type substance and the rear end of my bike flew out from under me. I fell chin first on the concrete, completely busted out a tooth, fractured a few more teeth, and ended up with a gaping hole in my chin that had to be stitched up. It took a few trips to the dentist but I finally got my smile back. However, I still haven't completely recovered from the crash mentally. Since the crash I hardly ever clip into my pedals anymore (I have Forte Campus combo pedals). When I do force myself to clip in, I am very uneasy and after a mile or so I realize that I've unclipped without even realizing it. I'm even considering going back to regular flat pedals because I very rarely use the clip side of my pedals. Additionally, I corner like a little old lady now. Actually, that last statement may be unfair to little old ladies.
Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else has been in a serious cycling accident and whether or not they have completely mentally recovered.
