Based on this trueism, the harder you push the more likelihood you have of coming a cropper.
You are at this point Mutton and no longer Lamb.


But at the same time you tend to be better at assessing risk and less liable to push the boundaries quite so far.

When I look back at some of the crap I pulled/attempted to pull it's amazing I and my bike riding friends are still alive and with a full complement of limbs. The formation wheelies up the Tottenham Court Road, making gaps to squeeze through in traffic, the sheer state of the bikes we used to ride. It makes me shudder thinking about it.
