DISCLAIMER. MOUNTAIN BIKING CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU JOIN US AT YOUR OWN RISK.

SAFETY BRIEFING.

  • Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
  • Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
  • Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
  • When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
  • Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
  • Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
  • Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.

It's a bit hurty at the moment but can take some better drugs soon. The break is fairly tidy so hope it won't be too long mending. Hope the Queens Head was ok, thanks all for your help with the bike etc.

Re: Show Us Your.....X-Ray

Welcome to the club Pete! I have some spare slings if you need, including a deluxe model! (The one they gave you at A&E may get a bit whiffy after a while).
Give me a shout and I'll drop them round.

P.S. I didn't push you as you were trying to get past, honest!!!

Re: Show Us Your.....X-Ray

hi Pete, hope things aren't too bad for you.

sounds as if it is a good thing you didn't try and ride on after that.
