Stupid Things We Have Done

some good ones...reading through just reminded me of pretty much my worst adult crash. going to meet a friend at the bagel shop, taking the uncool but hey it's early in the morning and no one's really out "shortcut" by riding the 1/4 block up the sidewalk instead of going two full blocks around to hit the one way streets correctly...huh, there's a guy power washing the sidewalk, better watch that hose across my route...yeah, wet hose, very slow moving tire = unbelievably quick trip to the ground! Road rash, sore hand for weeks, and SUPER grateful I wear a helmet! dumb....

Yesterday...packed the pannier with clothes for the office, including my suede boots. Grabbed a perfectly ripe pear and tossed it in on the way out. Yikes! Picking pear pulp out of the suede was a nice distraction during a particularly long staff meeting.

At least the pear pulp was on the outside of your boots!

After getting home from a vet appointment in which the vet told me my dog had food allergies, or something worse, and would be on mega expensive dog food forever, I...

backed my SUV over my $250+ baby stroller AND the other kids little bike in the driveway. I was a bit distracted...

The bike kid says "MOM! Of all people! How could you kill my bike? (boo hoo hoo) ". (DH hates the bikes, btw)

That's being a bad bike mommy.

Dhrrrr....

In the pre-TE days! My usual foot wear was only flip flip sandals, which was fine until I changed to DMR V12 pedals.



Then one day my foot slipped and somehow both sandals came off................aaaaaaaagh, trying to pedal with bare feet on these pedals was agony!

I am now a reformed person, yes, I wear trainers.

I guess this is what my DH does...When my husband and I ride I have a tendency to stop when I see something to pick up, or when I am in pain. One day he went to stop behind me and could not clip out, over he went. On a busy road in La Jolla during the golf thing at Torrey Pines. Lots of cars with windows rolled down, he has a tendency to get turretts syndrome (kidding) and curses up a storm. Every car that passed asked if he was alright. I had to apologize about the language and say that he was ok.

Last winter, I was riding behind the S.O. when I saw some cows in a field. For some reason, I kept looking at them and ended up overlapping wheels. It would have been OK, except he decided that he wanted to pull through & did so into my front wheel. I still have a knee scar from that one.
