Bycycle Adventures

I have so much to say I'm splitting this into many blogs. Otherwise it'd just be REALY long. So on my way home from the library I almost died horribly. I was riding my bike really fast enjoying the wind in my face on 300 E. just south of the I-80 overpass, when suddenly BAM! the handle bar slips off. I nearly immediately fell but managed to put enough weight in my hip that I kept balance. I guess this big booty of mine is good for something! So the first second I've caught my balance then my ankle and shin (on separate legs) get whacked by the pedals a couple of times until I can get a foot on the pedals to stop them. Now in pain and still barely holding my balance I look up and see a parked car... I can't get back to regular riding postions for maneuvering or I'll fall, I can't hit the brakes or I'll fall, so I used the foot not on the pedals to drag to a stop. I did stop in time not to hit the car. But my left ankle and right shin did get pretty tore up. I was just happy I managed not to bust up my face for Kimberly's wedding. I took me a minute or two of riding to get past thew pain but the rest of the rife I took easy. I will be replacing my handle bar grips. Because my leg still hurts a weeks later and though the gash is healing it's right a wagging tail height.
