figmentSo this morning I decided to try a bus-bike adventure - biking to the bus, sticking my bike on the front of the bus, biking from the bus to campus. The bus part was fine. I got some reading done on the way, which was good.
But then I wiped out on my bike on my way to work; in my sudden decision to get out of traffic, I managed to hit a seam in the concrete just wrong, and fell. I ripped up my shoulder and hands, and worst of all, broke the chain on my bike. Yes, I was wearing my helmet; no, I did not hit my head.
There's a Hudson Trail Outfitters that's at Tenley circle, so I will take the bike there today and see if they can fix the chain. I think I just broke one of the links so hopefully they will be able to. If not, well, I guess I will not be biking to work until I can get out to College Park Bikes. Either way, I'm picking up a pair of gloves. I'd rather not do this to my hands again.
I cleaned myself up with the first aid kit at work and I'm okay, but ... ow.
I will always, always wear my helmet.
And yes, if I had a digital camera right now, you would all be able to look at beautiful photos of my owies. Aren't you lucky that I am camera-less?
