[Closed] What are we doing to ourselves!?!

Boring myself senseless reading endless internet pages on bicycles. To think STW is one of the better ones.

think yourselve lucky you've not discovered this: http://tweetgrid.com/grid?l=8 yet!

I had 2 hours of stitches in my face under local anaesthetic if that helps add to your list - I presume this is supposed to turn into a willy waving thread about the injuries you've had?

i have 2 hard leathery rings of flesh on my arse cheeks from 30 years of cycling.
they are like the hard shoes you get on whelks.

i can think of better web site to wave my willy at 8)

are you sure they arn't whelks? or perhaps barnacles?

have you been swimming near any docks where the native species may have been mistaken? 😆 😆

Even more deviant than octopron.

I have a broken arse

I've calluses on my right hand from riding everywhere one-handed.
Well, that's what I tell my wife.

[i]what else horrible are we doing to ourselves in the name of hurtling around on two wheels??[/i]

I sacrificed my face.

broken shoulder, dislocated shoulder, concussion, lost oodles of skin, but most of all, keeping me fitter than just about any other sport I have done.

**** me; you did an' all, din't you??? 😯

He's propperly got no teeth, you know...

Be afraid, Londoner... 😈

mr Nutt, can I use that via Twitterfon?

Me. Getting fit healthy and destressed riding my bike. worst injury in 30+ yrs of cycling offroad - a 1cm cut and a tiny bone chip in my elbow.

broken bones?
looking ludicrous in lycra?

(hmm, good band name that - Ludicrous in Lycra)

Empty bank accounts/stretched credit cards?

You big pansy 😉

I view my occasional injuries as merely collateral damage. Inconvenient and painful perhaps, but minor compared to the huge mental, social and physical benefits :o)

Gristly balls?

a foobar'd knee (although is now slowly on the mend 9 months later)

a fairly knackered back (should have hit the kid instead of the tree, at least he'd have been soft to land on)

and numerous funky dents in my legs from either pedals/braches/roots/rocks and sporting a variety of bruises as soon as it gets warm enough to wear a skirt...

Still wouldn't give it up though. 🙂
