Aye, the lad's fair enough on a bike, but in 1975 I could pull a wheelie on a Raleigh Chopper with a gob full of Moondust and still look casual.

Was in the pub last week talking with some friends about road cycling and keeping fit. A buxom young lass sidled up later and asked if she could see my Chopper. Some people are real dumb - who the hell would do a lot of roadwork on a bike that has one wheel much bigger than the other?

That was the whimsical delight of the Chopper, Nooky. Anything above walking pace ensured a shattering crash that catapulted you through the handlebars as the central gear shift tore your knackers off.
It's all elbow and knee pads and crash helmets nowadays. When I was a fresh-faced young road warrior, you staggered into the local casualty department on a Saturday afternoon carrying your teeth in one hand and your scrotum in the other and you were still home in time for The Goodies. |
