do not let this discourage you, riding bikes is the best thing in the
world
Right. "Stay upright" is good advice. And if you fall, get up.
Keep riding.
If necessary, self-medicate.

Necessity, of course, being deemed by the subject.

Trauma from falls requires analgesics, much
hair-stroking, smoochie, "I care so much" TLC
from one's SO (sympathy nookie ain't so bad,)
and a big bowlful of chocolate/strawberry swirl
ice cream. And a 26er of at least chilled vodka.
And some Roxy Music tunes, and some Gold Seal hash....
Or one can just suck it up and deal with it without bothering other people.

Yeah, there's always the Spartan approach.
I know it well. Many jaded people who lack
or shun SOs do, too.

Or those that have developed the necessary mental discipline.

To accomplish what of value?

Y'know what's so good about it? Nuthin'.

Watching how an injured cat behaves is instructive. No yowling
complaints, they just find a quiet corner to hide in and heal.

You go ahead 'n enjoy being an injured cat. I'll
begrudingly-happily snuggle with my snoring Siren/occasional
sea lion. In a way, she's a quiet corner in which to hide
and heal.

And besides, have you ever noticed how when you're
sick in bed with 'flu or whatever, your cats come up
to comfort you? Or at least be there ready to eat your
body in case you die.

"Bothering" people?! Oi! Most people love to
care about others. If that hasn't been
your experience, you've been sadly deprived.

Heck, it's societally mandated that we care
for each other. And we do. It just doesn't
get the publicity or media focus.

Not in our social Darwinist society.

I seriously draw issue with that notion.

People all over the world are generally good to people.


cheers,
Tom
