Dusty Bull i,m with you, l still remember the pain when l graduated from a girls bike to a boys bike back in the sixties, well all was going fine until l came to an uphill where l put extra pressure on the pedals only to have the chain slip and you guessed it nuts meet the crossbar, well l reckon l was on the ground for a good fifteen minutes in excruciating pain, l could not even have anyone touch me so great the pain, well Mum said off to the doctors and that put the fear of god into me, but a day off school did help and only a week for the bandy legs to disappear was,nt to bad and to this day l reckon thats the reason l sit on the saddle as much as possible so if you ask if l would go through it again positively negative,no,never,not on your nellie.
