" Yoyo Ciliberti's GP had advised him to do a little exercise as his sedentary lifestyle was causing him problems. After discarding rugby because he lacked height and boxing because he lacked courage and dexterity due to height problems, Yoyo looked for a sport he could do sitting down. Cycling seemed the ideal activity. He bought a fixie with coaster brakes, which you pedal back to brake, and all the accessories that go with it. "I have to start doing something that will test my fitness," he told himself, firmly convinced. He climbed the highest street in the village; the cobbled one, and threw himself down the hill. After riding 10 metres, he realised that braking with his legs was more complicated than he had thought. The 400 metres to the bottom were the longest of his life. For the next two months he had to sit gently on a fluffy feather cushion. He sold his bike and now plays chess standing up. "
