Associate Justice Stephen Breyer.

Supreme Court Associate Justice Stephen Breyer is recovering from shoulder replacement surgery he underwent on Saturday following a tumble from his bicycle the day before. Breyer, 74, is an avid cyclist, but he took a spill Friday afternoon while pedaling near the Korean War Veterans Memorial, The Washington Post reports:

Court spokeswoman Kathleen Arberg said in a statement that the 74-year-old justice is “resting comfortably” after undergoing shoulder replacement surgery for a proximal humerus fracture, a common break in the shoulder joint. Breyer was taken to the hospital in an ambulance after his fall, Arberg said.

The operation was performed at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, and Breyer is expected to be released early this week.

Breyer has had other unfortunate bike incidents over the years, but he’s shown a resiliency to recover and then hop back on the saddle seat. But this appears to be his first bike crash in D.C. Two years ago, Breyer broke his collarbone after falling from his bike while near his home in Cambridge, Mass. In 1993, just before being interviewed by then-President Bill Clinton for a spot on the Supreme Court, Breyer was hit by a car in Harvard Square and suffered a punctured lung.

However, a Supreme Court justice being injured in a D.C. bicycle crash is hardly unprecedented. In September 1974, Chief Justice Warren Burger was treated for cuts and broken ribs after hitting a curb while testing out his new three-speed bike.
