Karen & co. Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 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 Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 OMG that sounds like a close one Karen! I do hope he recovers ok. In short, men never grow up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 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............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 ahhhhh, poor fellla, you're being a bit hard on him aren't you, I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Glad he's okay. I bet he'll have some fabulous bruises later Will you be buying him a new watch now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperman Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 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.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 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.

Mrs Webmuppet Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 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.
