After recently crashing my road bike in a criterium on my Specialized Allez, I've been off to see the doctor to get some advice and assistance with wound healing and management. This is one of those cycling tips videos you often won't hear about, as crashing your bike and hurting yourself is not the greatest thing for any cyclist to be thinking about. But unfortunately, this happens to most bike riders at some stage, so hopefully, these tips may come into use for some. 

In order for the wound healing process to be more pain-free and the scaring to be less severe one of my wounds has been put in dressing, while I was also provided some advice on how to dress my non-infected wounds. One of my wounds that was dressed, required me to keep it dry for at least 48 hours. Which makes having a shower a little tricky. My traditional shower routine has been completely disrupted, as I must now learn a new routine to keep the wounds dry. So in this video, along with some gentle shower music, I demonstrate the key movements required to keep wounds dry while you give you head and face a thorough clean in the shower, post a bike crash!
