Yea we were tougher then, fell off your bike, broke a leg, crawl to the kerb, find a couple of sticks and some vine make your own splint and get back on you bike ride home and take a couple of aspirin, back in the Mill the next day, people today expect an ambulance, no wonder the NHS is struggling.
The broken arms and legs are nothing but falling on the handlebars resulting in a ruptured spleen/liver/bowel is a bit more difficult.Bicycles are the devils work and best avoided and that’s just if you’re just trying to overtake one let alone thinking of riding one and that’s on a dry road let alone on ice.
