Wayne Goodman

As many of you know or have read on the cycling forums, Wayne Goodman had a serious cycling injury at Forest Hill Park.  Here is an excerpt from his website

The Crash

It's the kind of thing that could happen to any of us, or the guy walking through the parking lot or the girl riding in front of you. A simple error. Nothing more. Nothing less. Only it meant everything.
From the "mouth of Wayne", he was reaching back to adjust his pack as he rode on a grassy area next to the parking lot in Forest Hill Park. His wheel found a small indentation in the grass and Wayne was ejected head-first into the small stone wall on the edge of the parking lot. He was traveling no more than 5 miles per hour.
"It was lights out for my arms and legs," he recalls. His brain wasn't hurt, thanks to a helmet and no doubt his hard head. When he was in the ambulance he started to get some sensations in his extremities, but had no movement there.
Wayne, true to form was helping someone when the accident happened. He was riding with a new mountain biker, taking him on an outing. Thankfully he got fast medical help from his companions.


Please follow along with his progress and look for more information on how the team can help.  John Leino is directly involved, please forward any questions to him or the website.

  1. Scary thought for sure. I don't know about you, but I have been more careful on my solo rides since hearing about this crash.

    I have never met Wayne, but wish him all the best.
