All I was saying was that the implication on this thread is that playing polo makes you tougher on a bike. Which to me is comical. If you had said "Try race a few alley cats" or something along those lines then of course it would be applicable. I compete in a few sports but I wouldn't attempt to tell someone else that they should engage in these sports to "HTFU" and I certainly wouldn't try and equate hardening the fuck up with polo.
Peace
No The implication in this thread is that someone fell off their bike for the first time and then moaned about it and asked what they should do. Object gabes and myself, simply implied that maybe they should play polo, if you play polo you will fall off, thereby getting used to it and will also meet new people in the process. And if you met gabes, object or me, you would realise that this talk of toughness isn't implied by us. But the whiny 'ow i fell off, what do i do?' attitude dosn't get much sympathy, one might say 'no sympathy', with people who throw themselves off their bike with regularity.
