I had a Raleigh Stryker!
As the younger brother, I always got my brother’s had-me-down bikes (and clothes 
) and I didn’t get my first new bike until I was 11, when I was getting nearly as big as my 14 year old brother.
The cool kids were all getting BMXs (1983), but my parents thought they were a silly fad, so I got a 5-speed Raleigh Ace racer

I had one with pedal back brakes, which was epic for skids…until I went through the rear tyre

One of my mates had a Budgie he let me borrow. Man I loved that bike. I think he had a Chopper.
I thought it was amazing.

I was chatting to mates yesterday about this and they pointed out even at masters events they are treated like sprints and that I’m not built to survive BMX.

There is a rumour you like to get your chopper out, failing that your budgie

I managed to get booked in for a PSA test in a few weeks, not got any symptoms but after weighing up the comments from the resident experts on here I decided to ask on the basis of my father having it. If nothing else it might give me the baseline value that was mentioned.
Also had the tetanus booster this morning, my arm is now tender, and my other shoulder is also sore.
Shoot me now

If it’s low or high, your welcome.
If it’s borderline I claim no responsibility whatsoever 
PS a couple of days off the bike before the test can’t go amiss

I’ve been fifty for a while now, aren’t they supposed to stick their fingers up my arse at some point?

that’s kind of fallen by the wayside now, thanks be, at least as part of prostate cancer screening
I’m sure there are other scenarios where it’s still a thing

Thank fuck for that. My GP is an African guy with massive hands, I’ve been praying for a locum.
