[Karen & co.]

I've just been on a mad dash to pick up OH who had gone out for a bike ride as he is doing the coast to coast again next month.

 

He hit a pot hole with the front wheel and fell he has mashed the skin on his elbow shoulder and hip luckily no bones broken his watch is in lots of bits but luckily he was wearing a helmet.

 

I just wondered when men realise that falling off things is for children learning new skills

[Egluntyne]

Oh heck! Poor chap. Thank goodness he was wearing a helmet!

[Cinnamon]

Oh Karen,I sympathis having a bike loving hubby myself.

There is not a time goes by when he is out on his bike that I don't worry about him

 

Mine is threatening to do some sort of tour soon too

 

Thank goodness yours is in one piece (sort of!)

[theherd123]

OMG that sounds like a close one Karen!

 

I do hope he recovers ok.

 

In short, men never grow up!

[Nicola H]

I don't think they ever grow up Karen...........

 

I do hope he is OK but i am sure it is his pride that is hurting most, of course you will have to look after him today because if he moves of the garden lounger he could make his injuries worse.......... And i believe that cold beer is very good for shock or so my OH tells me anyway.............

[MedusA]

OMG. Poor OH! Hope he recovers in time to do his coast-to-coast ride.

[Guest]

ahhhhh, poor fellla, you're being a bit hard on him aren't you, I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose

[Laura & CTB]

Glad he's okay. I bet he'll have some fabulous bruises later

 

Will you be buying him a new watch now?

[Couperman]

You never forget how to fall off a bike

 

God job he had his skid lid on.

 

He should find out who owns that pot hole and sue them no win no fee and all that. Theres some nice chaps on the telly who could help with that and they do it all for free out of the kindness of their little hearts.

 

Kev.

[Snowy]

Bless him! Glad he's OK

 

Now where did I read that men never grow up, they just get bigger?

[hillfamily]

Bless him! Glad he's OK

 

Now where did I read that men never grow up, they just get bigger?

 

which something you only realise when you have sons of your own

 

Glad he's OK Karen

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Glad he's OK . I can sympathise, I've had to do a couple of mercy missions to collect my OH and a bent bike myself .

 

I've started cycling a bit this week and am very at the state of some of the roads, especially near the kerb where cyclists have to go.

Boys will be boys, and so will a lot of middle aged men!

[Lesley]

Boys will be boys, and so will a lot of middle aged men!

 

I have to agree

[Mrs Webmuppet]

The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.

 

On a more serious note, write to the council and complain about the pot hole. I used to do a lot of cycling and as a result of potholes wrote off several wheels...........the council coughed up the cash for new wheels nearly every time.
