lol, yes i have a friend whose father used to say "What kind of a grown man rides a bike!" and yet if you show up with a black eye from hockey or something, no one cares.
A couple of years ago I had to go to a holiday dinner with my right elbow stitched and bandaged and limping from a fall...mostly it was sitting on the dining chair that was the problem, ouch.
