last winter my eyesight went south (shortsighted) and I managed to ride my bike into a large oak barrier across the canal footpath that for some reason I failed to notice. My nuts smashed into the handlebar stem and I lay on the floor for thirty minutes whimpering like a kicked dog. I was black and blue down there for a good ten days or so and with the direct result that I now wear contact lens!
