Thrills and Spills - Do You Tell The Other Half?

[Joe24]

I tell my GF about some, but not the ones where i really was nearly squished.
She worried too much as it is.
My mum, i don't tell her at all, unless its really bad and i will complain, so she can have a read through my letter to check it. When i was younger, she used to put a foot note on the bottom, because apparently they were quite strong, would you believe

I only tell her when the blood no longer stays on the inside!

 

[Downward]

No never, Wife has never taken an interest and never asks where I go or anything.

 

[ACS]

Nope.

Not for near misses, least ways - some nights there'd be no time to talk of anything else.

Offs are a bit harder to hide, on account of the large patches of missing skin, and knackered bike.

Don't have that many and only tell her about the ones that are obvious. Last week as I arrived home I tapped on the front window to wave to Mrs Sherbert and the sprogs, all they saw was my head dissapear and my wheels appear as I fell AOT over the rockery, still clipped in. She found that hilarious.

No, I tell him nothing as he does not understand why I cycle at all (or rather why I don't just go on the cycle paths)

 

[Bman]

I sometimes rant a bit but shes barely interested, so I come here!

I'm very accident prone so tend to try and hide any offs. I NEVER tell my mum as she worries already but Mr Weenie generally works it out. When I fell in the canal there was wet clothing everywhere when he came home and when I fell over on the Bognor fnrttc I managed to jam the handlebar into my boob AND my personal lady area and both bruised incredibly badly. Once he stopped giggling he was most considerate.

Mr. Weenie, lol. Im sure he appreciates that!

I tell Mr Summerdays probably half, and the kids definitely not the closer call ones. Probably most likely to tell cycling work mates - its a let go of the emotions if you tell someone. And they probably have a similar tale to tell.

Always tell Mr Summerdays the worst ones - mainly as more shook up.

There's no point in me trying to hide what happens to me. She just has to search on youtube to find out!

To be fair to my wife, she doesn't seem to worry too much about me cycling.....mmmm, maybe that isn't a good thing!

Just check the life policy, or maybe she has

True I do tend to tell workmates or on here.

 

[eldudino]

My commute is relatively uneventful so there's not really anything to ever tell. If I do mention something then it's usually followed by her telling me about something she's done and the subject is thus changed so I just tend not to bother. I don't actually think she wants to know, it's probably easier for her not to! Never had an off but I guess I'd have to disclose if I ever do!
