I have a great wife.
She bought me a mountain bike for my birthday.
I picked it up Monday after work.
I then proceeded to ride it.
I rode quite quickly.
Then I needed to stop to avoid hitting something, so I squeezed the brakes.
I squeezed the brakes quite firmly.
The bike stopped.
I did not.
At least not until the sidewalk made me.
Actually it was a combination of the sidewalk and my chin.
They both receive credit.
I received six stitches, lovingly delivered by my wife, also known as Dr. Bredenberg.
I have a great wife.

I hope you recover from your injuries soon!! And go on to conquer new realms in the world of mountain-biking!
Thanks Tricia! As a follow up, I've gone out a number of times since that unfortunate adventure and proven to myself that I can ride without being thrown. I'm still waiting for the scar to fade and the lump on my chin to shrink further, but I did recover the full use of my jaw after about 10 days. My dentist took X-rays and assured me no teeth were cracked, either!
