If I told my boss that I was going to choose when (or even if) I was going to work and it all depended on my interest in exercise, I don't think I'd be welcome to stay at my job. That must be the most trivial excuse I've ever heard for not working I used a nose bleed once lol 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sham Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I've been grinning like a loon since Saturday. I've had my full bike license for 31 years, but hadn't ridden in 30, until Saturday. I crashed my bike back then due to riding like a newly qualified teenager, and lost my nerve a bit. That and not being able to afford a bike and a car at the time meant that I went with 4 wheels, and never really thought about bikes again. Until my son took his CBT and got a scooter. I borrowed a friend's 125 commuter over the weekend to see how I felt, and had a bloody fantastic time. I have use of his bike until March, but I can feel a shopping spree coming on.

Good for you, enjoy it. If I could be "yer Mam" for a second though, be careful out there - the roads of today are different from 30 years ago. Sermon over.

Keep some string with them so you can tie them to the back of the car, that way you can keep going until you are on grippier ground or until you get stuck again.

The string is also a good idea so you don’t just forget about them until you’re 10 miles down the road. DSdriver and myglaren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobloseven Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Son who lives in South Wales spotted this in his local doctors. As a parent, he thinks the idea of Mum taking the kids out while Dad watches the telly while having a drink, is quite appealing.
