Get Him Indoors to check bike brakes as it would not do to stop momentum by hitting the bumper of cars with no break lights everyday. Thank my father for providing an X chromosome to my genetic make up rather than a Y so that the subsequent landing on the bit between the saddle and the handlebar, though uncomfortable was not as bad as it could have been had I been a man.

JiiiiiM!!! / Website (8.11.04 15:14) When I were a lad I had a Raleigh Chopper, which had a gear lever actually mounted on the crossbar, thus doubling the pain should you happen to slide off the seat under braking. In fact, it seemed purposely designed to "mash your spuds", ensuring that no kid ever rode the thing very fast and they always started braking about twenty yards earlier than anyone else. The only time I ran into anything on my bike was when I hit a little Fiat X1/9 about thirty yards from my house. I went straight over the handlebars and smashed my teeth on the boot. The indignity of lying in the road with blood streaming from my face was somewhat compounded when the woman started driving off.... Fortunately a passer-by alerted her to the fact she'd been involved in an accident. |
