Probably true, however, when I was recovering from a very serious accident, (car hits bike rider), and my thought processes where in fairy- land, I cycled into the hospital for a rehab session. But picture this......I'm in a full back brace, a compression stocking on my r/leg and my crutches tied to my top bar and hanging out the back, (I could barely walk), right through busy town traffic, getting amazed stares, hurting like nothin' on this earth, but I made it
My Physio, who I used to race with, was NOT impressed, and my wife tore strips off me, but like I said...my brain was cycling around Saturn at the time and I didn't realise a lot then. Now I use the car if on the rare occassion I'm too ill.
