Men who don't ride bikes with broken limbs just aren't real men... I remember once, back in 1963, a spill caused me to break a leg, seven ribs and two vertebrae. I carried on riding, had to make an 80 foot jump over a rising river to get home, I did it, got home, mowed the lawns, didn't complain once ;)
