Default OT. How big is his nose?

Why on Earth would anyone riding a bicycle at 40mph need to take both
hands off the bars to blow their nose? I refer of course to the Chris
Froome crash.

You persistantly claim that cyclists with dropped bars don't look at the
road ahead. With both hands off he must have been upright with eyes in
the optimal position. Perhaps he had noticed your expertise in cycling
matters and was following your guidance.

"Look, ma... no hands!".

It's what you sometimes see children do, isn't it?

What's the betting it was the wall's fault?

Yes. Children also fall over the first time they try to walk. Despite
going on to develop the technique they are still bound to fall over
several times during their life. Best not to start, heh?

Is he still only learning to ride the bike and hadn't discovered that
it's safer to be in control?

Who'd a thought it?

It's probably best to have learned, by the time you're a teenager, not
to do silly things like riding a push bike with no hands on the handlebars.

You probably don't agree.

You aren't giving any odds on that?

Perhaps those French walls can be very perfidious.

You're a cycling expert now? But it's certainly a dangerous sport. Poor
Chris.

I did know a football fan who whilst driving his ROAD VEHICLE took his
hands of the wheel to applaud his team whilst listening to his radio.
A policeman saw him do this and the football fan was reported and fined.
Why should a ****ing ****head cyclist on a ROAD VEHICLE be treated any
differently?

I guess that by the time you were two you had scraped your knees enough
times that you decided not to bother any more?

Definitely somewhere between 0% and 100%.
