Get yourself to a doctor first and ask them.

Do you mind if I ask where you got that from? Not being rude, just interested to know if that is from a medical professional.

Got a horrible chesty cough at the mo, half way round a four hour ride today I was thinking what a bad idea this is, been suffering tonight, todays ride has made things a fair bit worse.

If you think about what is actually happening when you have a chest infection you'll see why it would not be a great thing to go and ride with one.

If you have a proper chest infection rather than a manfection then you wouldn't be able to manage a ride.

Yes it is.

Conker that. Until I got a real chest infection over Christmas I thought I'd had several. In retrospect I realised they were just tickly coughs..

Hm I did wonder as I seem to remember someone once saying that above the neck OK, below the neck dont ride.
Looks like a gentle spin along the hill to the pub then.
Mikey, Drac would know mate.
Cheers guys.

I had a very bad chest infection from september til just before christmas. Believe me, even riding to the end of the street would have wiped me out.
