    I’d just get insurance. That’s how it will be funded, and you’ll be paying that anyway. Your insurance will be a hell of a lot less than those people who smoke or can’t balance their input/output ratio.

    Nipping in once a year to mend a broken wrist will cost them a billion pounds less than if you’re constantly getting diabetic drugs and having heart problems.

    i’ve been to the alps without insurance (realised after day 1). Still rode, so I guess no

    Not always pleasures. A friend of mine was indulging whilst in the bath with such voracity, he snapped his banjo string.
    His mother heard him yelp, burst into the bathroom and fainted on the spot thinking he’d slashed his wrists.

    Really struggling to stifle a real LOL!
    I gave up the struggle. 😆

    People on low incomes will give up exercise and prefer to suffer the health consequences. Is this a Tory policy?

    In all the time I’ve been riding (started off bmxing about 7-8 years ago 😯 )I’ve only had two injuries/crashes serious enough to warrant a trip to A&E. So I’d probably take the risk.

    I have been to hospital a few times. I’d insure if i had to pay, or not and pay as I went. Which works unti lyou break your back or do something truly horrendous. Insurance then. Have ridden with a broken elbow, fingers, thumb, concussion, etc. Wasn’t a fan of the grating bone and pitiful yelps it elicited.

    The last time I went to hospital for a riding related problem was about 2004/5 which means one of two things, I’m a mincer or I’m AWESOME. I see more tags calling me AWSOME than a mincer so I think the answer is quite clear.

    MTFU and think what would Jens do?

    It’s the lightweight hardtail and being able to deal with the masses of “braking bumps” at Llandegla that make you so awesome don! 😉
