Doctor urges Aussie PM to stop cycling

[Shut Up Legs]

Yes, the doctor thinks it's dangerous . But later in this article, his Deputy PM, a keen runner, said it puts him in the right frame of mind for the day's work, something I think we can all relate to on this forum. I think this doctor is out of touch, and shouldn't be discouraging cycling.

The doctors a dick. You can even get injured walking, or flying, or driving.

This living lark is pretty dangerous when you look at it.

No offence Victor but I don't know how you cope with the stuttering imbecility of the Australian media and public when it comes to cycling. I bet that bloke only became a doctor cos he was fed up with surname jokes.

Probably why Victor recently asked if we would have him over here instead! Having lived in Oz in the 80s I agree the media is utter rubbish, with the possible exception of First Dog on the Moon.

And that Doc should be struck off really!

It's why we sent them there.

No worries... it looks like our PM won't be cycling much longer: because he won't be PM much longer!
Not after knighting one of your Royals, which went down like a brick over here.

To be fair, Australia has form in this regard. In 1967, current Prime Minister Harold Holt went swimming in treacherous surf and disappeared. Apparently he was advised by his doctor not to swim due to a shoulder injury.

Amusing fact: I learnt to swim at the Harold Holt memorial swimming pool

He's not the same doctor that was treating Hitler is he? 2 years ago I smashed all my ribs down one side by partaking in the dangerous activity often referred to as "walking"...
