Wot, never - ? !

[simongt]

I was talking to a bloke a work recently; himself being in his late sixties, but one of those who have 'been around the houses' a few times, i.e., has an anecdote for every occasion. We touched on the subject of cycling and I was amazed when he told me that he'd NEVER been on a bike in his entire life, not even as a child - !
I don't know about anyone else, but I found that statement astounding that anyone had never ever ridden a bike.
Odd thing was, he seemed quite proud of the fact - !

I think you'll fine alot of folk haven't ridden since a little child, but not at all ?

I didn't ride a bike until I was 24 (I'm now 32). I never had one as a kid, my parents wouldn't buy me one! I could easily have carried on never having ridden a bike. In the end I decided I wanted to be able to ride a bike so I bought one and learned to ride off the internet.

My wife has never ridden a bike due to her Father having a nasty accident on one when he was a child and so he forbade her to ride one.
So every time I go out on mine she get's really worried, especially if I'm a bit late back (which I invariably am!).

I only eat fruit that's been in a tin

Back to the OP, I grew up in the 60's and 70's and there were bikes everywhere, mostly wrecks LOL
