Friday the 13 misadventure!
I remember thinking, gee, going for a bike ride on fri the 13... but of course that's just SILLY. And the weather has been so sh*tty lately and it finally wasn't raining today and as usual, it's going to rain this weekend. So after the ride, with my friend, we're like two blocks from my house, rambling along and then suddenly... BLAT! It was just one of those totally flukey falls. I just looked down and thought my wheel was a bit close to his back wheel, and I probably said, S***! and maneuvred away.But he went in the same direction, left, and I thought " I just don't want our wheels to get tangled and collide and fall on each other!" " Anyways, I fell on the fleshiest part of my butt cheek, which is now covered with garden variety road rash, which will turn into a hug bruise of course, and a big lump on my right shin. I was wearing knickers and long sleeves because it was cool, so no skin loss. One of my shifters is a bit crooked, no big deal. I got through the hairiest intersections,missed all the big potholes- I crash two blocks from home. Sigh... it was just so STOOPID! ! I knew I shouldn't have gone for a ride on friday the 13. Or I should have taken some lucky charm with me! |
