Back on the Road: A Journey of Recovery, Resilience, and the Ride Home

By Charles Lindsey

A devastating crash. A fractured skull. A shattered identity. And a long road home-one painful mile at a time.
When seasoned cyclist and IT project manager Charles Lindsey hit the pavement at over 30 mph during a routine ride, everything changed. He woke up in a hospital with no memory of the accident, a broken pelvis, and a fractured skull. What followed was a grueling journey through trauma, rehabilitation, unemployment, and the unrelenting avalanche of medical bills.
Back on the Road is more than just a story of survival-it's a raw, honest account of what really happens after the crash. From the ER to the fourth floor of a rehab hospital, from wrangling insurance claims to wrestling back his own bike from a stubborn bike shop, Charles lays bare the emotional, physical, and financial toll of recovery. With vivid detail and moments of wry humor, he explores what it means to lose your freedom, your memory, and your sense of self-and what it takes to fight your way back.
Whether you're a cyclist, a caregiver, or simply someone who's been knocked down hard by life, this book offers clarity, grit, and practical insight. It's a lifeline for those navigating recovery, and a reality check for anyone who thinks a helmet is optional.
Crashes happen. What you do next makes all the difference.
