RE: Another Cycling Fail for the Collection
Rarely do I take meds and that means they work pretty well when I do ;)
Ha ha
So right about now you're taking a ride and looking back at your bike thinking
WTF, these pain meds are the bomb!
Nice job on booting the bike away from your head / danger regions, I have never possessed such skills.
That is completely from my skateboarding days. I really had the worst injuries as a skater, but developed some very good injury avoidance instincts after a few years of skating.
After you do this:
for the first time, you do everything you can never to do it again. And the slam instinct just sort of kicks in 😂
It's a nice looking afternoon, and I still need those teabags!
Even though my wheels failed me to some extent at the weekend, i think i'd still go for rubber over weird leg contraption thing as above. I bet the cornering on that is shocking! (Also, is that why the coffee is a 'good price' at your local bike shop? :) )
Never really understood skateboarding. It must be the most dangerous sporting activity going. Once you can skate, is it then compulsory to perform sink or swim tricks like the railing? Bunch of nutters!
Definitely, you should get out. A Brit without tea is a dangerous combination 😂
Ha ha, yes the coffee is a good price, and the repairs cheap... But you come home with a strange looking bike 😂😂
You hit the nail on the head about skating. It's insane, pure and simple.
Once you learn how to Ollie and pop a few kickflips and grind blocks etc, it just sort of snowballs. The best way I can describe it is a bit like a drug experience if I'm honest. When you get to the point where you're advanced enough to go at rails etc, it is an extremely intense adrenaline high. I stopped when I was about 30 cause the doctor told me that I was risking permanent damage to my knees. But I can still remember the feeling of cruising about the city centre with music in my ears jumping on and off pavements, ledges, weaving through traffic even. That feeling of the city being like a playground is the best thing. The big tricks on rails etc, are something different. It's like pure adrenaline and buzzing off that with a bunch of other nutters, egging each other on to do more insane stuff. I don't miss that really, but the cruising through town creatively using the cityscape, I miss that big time. I still have dreams where I'm crusing about from spot to spot, never falling off my board no matter what I attempt. Ha ha, the dream is smoother than what the reality was.
Another day without teabags, things are getting serious!
Sounds like a sweet dream - maybe i'll be dreaming about having a cuppa on my bike tonight :)
