Re: Anti Cyclists

I'll be no trouble on the roads for a week or so. The hospital has told Mrs mart to shield prior to hospital treatment. I reckon this means I should do it too.

Re: Anti Cyclists

Mrs mart has been wheelchair-bound for many years and won't get any better. The hospital next week is for pain control via steroid injections into the top and bottom of her spine. It's done every 3 months usually. The injections were due in March but got cancelled. The hospital has said the injections can now be done but we must be careful not to take the virus there.

Edit: Sorry OGF I should have said this first ..Thanks for the good wishes.

Re: Anti Cyclists

Best of luck Mart for Mrs Mart with the treatment and hope they keep you both safe from the virus. It's great that she will have some relief finally.

Re: Anti Cyclists

I remember horses being really freaked out when I used to cycle on the minor country roads. It wasn't exactly a regular occurrence but it did happen. After one young lady was nearly thrown I'd make a point of dismounting if I saw any equestrians.
I'm not sure if it was the sight of the bike or me that was so disturbing.

Maybe you needed a different style of bike to the one you used to ride:

That might well have been the solution!
At risk of going off topic your picture reminded me of the Monty Python Pantomime Horse sketch.
It can be strange how the mind works.
