side-lined

I got side-lined with an (snip) elective procedure, precluding me from riding my bike for a few weeks.

I have had to use my wife's car to get around and do my errands. What a drag that is. Fortunately, she has been riding to work to balance my consumption.

I recognize that a bike may not always work. However, it does bum me out that I have to abstain, from riding, for a while. The next time I will be riding is after my return to Salem for school.

Watch out Salem.
