Breyer had surgery at a Washington hospital after fracturing
his collarbone when he fell off his bike, spokeswoman Kathleen Arberg said in a

full recovery, Arberg said.
According to the Associated Press, this is not Breyer’s
first bike-related injury. The 74-year-old justice broke his collarbone in a
2011 accident, and he broke his ribs and punctured his lung in an incident in
1993, before he was appointed to the court in 1994.
