My son did one of those bike rides, where you take your bike up on a chair lift meant for skiing and ride down.
I told him that if he ever does it again that I didn’t want to know about it before or after. He said that once was enough for him, he was never doing it again. He said that he wasn’t even properly equipped for the ride, that his bike didn’t have large enough shock absorbers to ease bumps, but once he started down, there was no way to stop until he reached the bottom.
