Just had this included in an email from my Dad
....... I offered to cycle with them to the station to show them the cycle route as they did not have lights on their bikes. I'd had quite a bit to drink and on the way I misjudged the gap between two bollards and caught the handlebar on one of the bollards whilst cycling quite fast. This threw me off the bike. I landed heavily on my left hand side bruising my head, shoulder, elbow , ribs, hand and knee. I'm o.k. now but my head and ribs are still a bit sore - but getting better...........
I'm unsure if this is a win or a fail as he is in his mid 60's and probably should know better. At least it explains a few things though :)
