Subject: RE: BS: sports bra critique. Respectful please
When we're driving about on winding, sometimes narrow Norfolk roads, we're terribly worried about those kind of cyclists Steve. They look so fragile and vulnerable. In fact we came across a small(ish) accident near Mattishall where a lady in Lycra had caught her front wheel on her husband's pedal and crashed to the road. She was crying loudly in pain. We stopped and I could see she'd dislocated her shoulder and had a nasty wound on her brow. My husband wanted to call an ambulance, but they didn't want one, so we gently eased the lady into the front seat of our car, with my cardigan made into a sling, and left her husband to cycle along wheeling his wife's bike. He was a grumpy sod and didn't seem too worried about his poor wife. I got the lady into her house and dressed her wound, but she obviously needed medical attention for the shoulder. Husband arrived, so we left them to it. Cycling is a dangerous business, and wearing flimsy Lycra stuff seems, as you say, inadequate. Motor-bike leathers would be safer!
