Speaking as someone who's ridden a bike into a swimming pool a number of times, I can only say it doesn't hurt that much.

Arch Married to Night Train Location Salford, UK 20 May 2008 #9 Oh, I miss my Ratty. I mean, she's being looked after for me OK, well, I assume so, unless Roger's sold her into slavery... This one always makes me think of heading off to explore the world... Although, as she's not seagoing, I wouldn't get that far...
