Of curbs, cops, contusions and comics
Yesterday a lonely bicyclist had an unpleasant encounter with a slippery curb that didn’t want him to get onto the bicycle path. He fell and later felt severe pain in his knee. Now he can’t really bend it, but the doc said it aint broken – just a bit bruised. The irony is that just two minutes before the lonely bicycle commuter had his tragic fall, a police officer yelled out of the car and demanded that he used the [non-mandatory] bike path - which the bicyclist refused first knowing that it was not mandatory… Well, he is working diligently again on his diplom thesis, but once in a while he procrastinates away, e.g., by reading the first bike shop web comic that has all the necessary cyclist tragic, bike lane content, and car contempt.

Da kann man dir doch nur hoffen, dass du keine bleibenden Schäden davon trägst. Und natürlich nur das Beste in Sachen Genesung wünschen! And next time: you better keep an eye on the street you are cyceling on!

That sounds bad, but at least you still seem to be in a state of ability for finishing the diploma thesis. A big benefit of virtual reality is a vast absence of physical pain, but beware of slippery notepad buttons to not wrench your fingers, too.
