Which means he drove over the wheel, or something, as a sick appeal for
sympathy.

I like having people around when I stack. I happen to LIKE sympathy!

If you like sympathy so much, you should fall off more often.

I dunno. Its not working for TimC.
We just follow him around with the camcorder

Could I have a copy of the film? I'm sure there's some spectacular
footage in there. I would have been most impressed with the roll I
did about a year ago on grass at the end of a bike track.

You know it's a good crash when you come out of it laughing.

I know it's a good crash when I start wondering what reading material to
take with me to casualty.

Nah, he was so embarrassed about the stack that he didn't tell anyone
about it for a few years. And so freaked out by how much worse it
could've been that he stopped riding trails alone... and given that his
friends were already over their MTB phase, that meant quitting MTB. Damn
shame.

At a booze bus? With a slab on the pillion?

The point is, as is so *often* the case, people rush to judge without
knowing or caring about the particular circumstances. They think they
know enough when they actually don't. There's an important lesson to
be learned there.

A positive attitude is fine, and preparation is even better, but try
as we might, Murphy is often lurking and waiting to pounce. :-) Sorry
if that's overly mythical... ;-) (couldn't resist...)


Several aspects which you're missing:

- Peter is an extremely experienced cyclist, more so than most of us on
a.b,
- You like to dramatise stuff past the point of tedium,
- And, yes, you're labouring the point. Again.

Pigs. They are just unimaginative twits, who'd rather mummy drives them
to school and lets them out around the corner.

If you can carry a tuba, then you can carry anything.(*)
Lapies and all those electronic things just need padding in a pannier
(or shudder back pack). Hint, take it along to Clarke Rubber and they
can customer cut top and bottom layers and layer with the hole.

Alternative, cheap luggage, two ute hooks and a loop of shock cord asnd
you have a cheap, square pannier that can be adapted.


(okay, it was a cello for me, but I wasn't allowed either. Besides 500
metres is really walking distance).
