CIRCLES BOOKS If You Got Injury

The engine of your bike is your body.

Circles / SimWorks super-sub and talented designer Minami Chaya has created a zine on First Aid based on her experience of being injured during a bikepacking ride in the US.

Here is what Minami had to say

There are various patterns and severities of injuries and problems that occur when riding a bicycle, but I think that we have to leave the advanced ones to the experts, and the minor ones that are not serious enough to change the itinerary, we have to deal with them by ourselves. I am wondering if this very trauma I experienced was the kind of bicycle play injury that seems to happen often and can be dealt with if you know what you are doing.

After the series of events, I started to think that I could share with you all about the healing process of the wound, how to get to a hospital in the US, the importance of insurance and procedures, what to look out for when going for a ride by reflecting on the injury, and the First Aid kit I actually used, and I created this zine!

I also learned a lot about the basics of modern trauma care, so I've compiled as much as I can share with you from my own experience.
