PATCH Tore through knee on e-bike and fixed with fabric sample

Post image

A few days ago I slid out on my e-bike and it tore through my jeans and got my knee. Luckily for the jeans, I had some durable fabric samples from my sister looking at couch fabrics and I used one to patch it up!

I would've picked a different color solely based on how this looks like either a bandage or raw scraped-up skin 😭

It’ll definitely take a few weeks to heal…thankfully I had on a good helmet and jacket so otherwise I’m unscathed!

I hope you have a swift recovery! I've smashed a couple of helmets too. Well worth the money to keep my brains where they belong.
