I’m no expert on bikes. The only thing I know about bikes is that once you’ve learned to ride one, you don’t need to bother anymore because it’s impossible to forget how. My pal Neil doesn’t agree. He really likes his cycling and is always zooming around on his bicycle. Recently during his zooming around he skidded and fell off and zoomed along on the side of his head instead.

By a crazy stroke of luck, a neurologist and a nurse were in one of the cars behind him and they stopped and tended to the dazed Neil who went to hospital and had his smashed head patched up. The only sign of permanent damage is that he still wants to zoom around on his bike. He’s got balls. And a scar.

Ouch!
