Topeka (WIBW) - WIBW Channels General Manager Jim Ogle was injured in a bicycle accident Saturday.

Many of Jim’s friends know him as a biking enthusiast strongly supporting the construction of bike lanes in the Capitol City.

Jim was riding his bicycle on Southwest 10th Saturday afternoon, when his tire hit a rough spot and he was thrown to the pavement.

He suffered cuts and scrapes, a finger injury and will have to have surgery on his left elbow. Jim says he was wearing a helmet which he believes prevented more serious injury.

Jim was at work Monday, but it's expected he’ll be slowed from his usual high-energy pace for a few days.

Speedy recovery Jim. Hope the surgery goes well too. See, still watch WIBW even after we moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico in May. And follow you all on twitter too. (fire_bird) from twitter here. :-) keep on riding.
