the TODAY host was laid up with an injured shoulder after a mishap while bicycling on Long Island. “He was riding his bike over the weekend and he had a run-in with a deer,” co-host Meredith Vieira explained.
Since we all know how these things come in threes, y’all are safe for a while. Lance, Matt and me have all biffed here in the last week. You are now free to ride with wreckless abandon!
What happened, your wittle lungy wungy couldn’t handle a wittle crashy washy ;^)
Glad to hear you’re ok, and thanks for the green light!
I definitely pray before I ride!
u sound good, considering
hope you have a quick recovery
May your Quads squash anyone who gets in the way!
My widdle bwainy wainy can’t handle being cooped up in the widdle hospital watching Matt Lauer … Ugh
I wish you a very speedy recovery.
You know things like this wouldn’t happen if you just stayed in the windtunnel. It’s safe in there.
Get well soon.
Heard you were out racing some college kids. I’d love to walk up to one of them that didn’t know you with that original Barnwerx picture of you and bet them the guy in the photo could beat them in a TT. It would be the ultimate hustle. I’ll split the profits with you!
I think Lauer’s crash was really just a cover for “legal” PED use.
At least he was still able to make it back home with his prize.
although i feel bad about your injuries, i have to admit that i’m glad you ‘took one for the team’ rather than me.
i try to be compassionate, but that selfish part just keeps coming back.
glad to hear you’re (reasonably) ok. good luck with the recovery,

I prefer when the triple consists of flats rather than crashes.
At least Matt hit a deer, crashing in a peloton is getting cliche’.
Ask the nurse to bring a treadmill in to your room. At least you could raise the incline and walk briskly and get in to zone 2 for a few hours…a guy like you only needs 1 lung for that.
On a serious note, I’m glad youre relatively OK and in good spirits.
Is Matt Lauer a road cyclist, triathlete or what? I didn’t know he rode anything. I just thought he had the cushiest job in the world.
Ahhhh… the old knocked over by a deer excuse … sounds pretty lame … probably just fell over but that doesn’t sound so cool;-)
Dave
Bryant Gumbel was a better host anyway…and i agree with dcsxtri10, he probably had a fly buzzing around his head and lost it and just fell over…WEAK
.
sheesh. does Lauer count?
good to see you have some life left in you.
did you roll nicely…or was it a splatter shot?
I don’t ever pray at all
and have never crashed my bike
God loves atheists apparently.
Now I bet I crash tonight
even though I’ll be on my trainer
At least he was still able to make it back home with his prize.
You guys are so funny! I find myself LOL @ work. I don’t know where you find photos like this, but thanks! 
You and the “Why I pray before I ride” post were the first things I thought of when I saw this on the news! I had to laugh…

I’m too old to roll or bounce. It was definately more of a splat.
