To those downtown this morning:
Thanks for not laughing, but also, I’m a little concerned that no one asked if I was all right.
I biffed it pretty well on my way to work today. So far, only the second time I’ve done it on my way to work, and the first time wasn’t even while I was on the fixie. Today, however, that old remember-you-can’t-coast adage was forgotten, and I basically dove over the front of my handlebars trying to coast while boosting myself over a curb. I got up, laughed it off, and got back on the bike for a half-block more till I got to the office. It feels good to know you can still take a slight beating; my arms are a little sore, but okay, overall.
I’m riding Critical Mass today. Are you?
