Going to karate with broken ribs is Just Plain Stupid. Falling off your bike: depends how badly you hurt yourself, surely? If you have injuries which will be made worse by using the body parts involved, don't go; if you don't, and feel up to it, do.
(and I know it's mostly rhetorical, but answering the question anyway: depends on the fall, really, and where the injuries are (and what the likely stuff you'll be doing is - I guess if you're grazed and you're not going to stretch/make contact with those areas, it'd be OK, but...)
It depends on what you hit when you fell of your bike. The last time I fell off my bike I dinged one of my knees and I wouldn't want to combine that injury with martial arts - especially if you have to sit in a kneeling position lots.
Oh dear, *sympathy*. Hope you aren't hurt too much (well I hope you aren't hurt at all, but clearly you are otherwise you wouldn't post this).
And not everyone goes to karate with a broken rib - er, OK so technically I did, but I didn't go before I did go IYSWIM. It was ten days into being healed before I went back, so it hardly even counts as broken at that point.
And the people in karate who do go with a very recently broken rib were the ones who broke it in karate, and didn't even know if it was broken or not, and didn't have other falling off bike injuries like you have.
Ouch! If it's just scraped (unlikely) then hopefully it will stop hurting enough to be able to do karate in a day or two, but any bruising will probably hurt a bit.
Ouch! *hugs*. Unfortunately I can relate to that way too much *Grin*. Scraped knees heal quicker than most things you get falling off a bike - I'll be doing physio for months yet.
