I wiped out on the trail. I'm mostly okay, but there's a large bulge on my right calf. It barely hurts. Some fellow cyclists came by and called an ambulance for me. The EMS workers are currently trying to figure out how to get me to the ambulance. #HfxBike

Oh no! I’m sure you’re in good hands with EMS, but do you need anything?

I'm okay for now. Almost at the QEII. I'll see what the doctor says.

Yup! They took the wheels off and fit it in the ambulance.

The BLT trail. I was about halfway to Upper Tantallon.

I think I might have seen you getting out of the woods. We saw an ambulance around here when we were out for a drive

Hope it checks out OK!🤞 Never want "gurney" to be one of the uses for multi-use trails, but glad people helped.

Our Paramedics are super. Glad someone called them for you. Hope all turns out well, and you're back on the trail soon.
