On the commencement solar daytime of my boy Zach's jump suspension from school, I decided it would last fun for us to become for a bike ride. Now hear you, I had non been on a bike inwards fifteen years. I had latterly purchased an onetime bike at a yard sale too was anxious to "get some exercise".
After telling Zach, "you never forget how to ride a bicycle", I took off with dogged determination.

At the terminate of the street is a path yous tin accept to larn to a lovely park. As yous exit the street, yous conduct maintain to maneuver up a higher than normal curb too onto a dirt path. Well hither is where the storey takes a tragic turn. Forgetting the aforementioned rule of balance, I rolled upward onto the curb.......and stopped . Gravity said "Lisa Farmer, come upward on down" too every bit Zach described it, inwards wearisome motion, I complied. And hence Gravity said......"gottcha"! Within five minutes from the house, I had shattered my correct (of course of written report it HAD to last that one) elbow too lay at that spot a crumpled mess amongst elbow too dignity destroyed.
I knew I was non going to last riding anymore hence started thinking of how I would learn my bike a lesson. I would either position it upward never to last ridden again.....
or utilization it inwards some kind of demeaning way. Bicycles are meant to last gratuitous later on all.
Maybe I would brand a gate out of it. That would learn it a lesson!!
Or donate it to last melted downward too used to do the worlds largest bicycle.
But later on months of healing, I began to encounter the beauty ....
too usefulness of bicycles again.
And remembered how much fun it was to ride double amongst a friend.
I remembered that bicycles tin last hence romantic.
A bully agency to become on a picnic!
And how much fun yous tin conduct maintain only riding along amongst the wind in your hair.
So I decided to forgive my bike too mayhap laissez passer it an honored house inwards my garden,
lean it upward somewhere for all to admire,
or larn inwards a purpose of my interior design.
I could fifty-fifty bake it a cookie to demo only how distressing I was for the neglect.
After all it could conduct maintain been worse.
Sadly, earlier I had the hazard to brand amends, person stole it from my porch. I tin solely promise they saw it's vintage beauty too gave it a house of prominence in THEIR bloom garden. If non ..... I promise Gravity decides to come upward calling again!
I promise yous had a proficient time!!
