blinkin assumptions
 
Just because I occasionally have been known to ride a bike, why do people assume my broken leg is a result of a bike related incident.

Twice today people have asked me if I have come off my bike. No I fell into a hole in the road whilst walking home last Friday. No I was not ****ed, it was good Friday and early doors and we only went out at 9:30 etc.

The assumptions people make are starting to seriously p me off

Heh - I get it all the time Tim. People see me walking round the stables with either a leg brace and stick or on crutches and always ask if it was a horse related injury.

I tend to rattle off the reply - Nah, motorbikes 20 years ago. The broken elbow was the horse! :twisted:

It's not the assumption that bothers you, its having to explain that you fell over in a pothole ;)
