First ride = last ride

[Sandra6]

Youngest son has recently shown an interest in physical activity - he's 18, it's about time.
He's been running with mr6 a few times but isn't loving it, so he suggested a ride out instead.
He got half a mile from home, misjudged a kerb on the cycle path and ended up fracturing both elbows.
That's him strapped up for the next month. Poor lad can't even scratch his nose!

GWS, report that kerb at www.fixmystreet.com and consider judo for learning to break falls less painfully.

Aah,that is just awful.Poor lad,however,just tell him that when all is well again,the only way back is quite literally to get back on,and go again.And,should he ever need company and encouragement,then I know of one poor little old soul he ll always be able to outpace!.Hope he recovers OK,that neither of you are put off,and that soon,very soon ,you ll be enjoying riding together.Take him for a ride around the city on those gentle,quiet lanes that surround us,he ll be hooked! Best Wishes,

Well, he hasn't asked me to do that, I think I'll buy him new pants just in case his get lost!

Ouch. Hope he gets well soon.

Who's going to point Percy at the Porcelain for him?

Let's hope he recovers soon!

As an 18 yo I'd have found life unbearable to loose the use of my arms for at least 2 reasons

Sympathy for Sandrakins and bemusement at his ability to land badly on 2 elbows at the same time. I mean, how do you manage to do that?

Let's hope he's not the kind of person to be beaten by a kerb.
