.: I hate snow and the cold and winter in general. I don't mind visiting cold places, I just don't want to live in them... I moved to Illy for Ally cuz she's my love and I didn't want to be away from her.. but dang it.. I hate the snow... So last week I had to put more money on my card so I could do laundry... The place you do that is a block or two away, so I just hopped on my bike... Got there no problem... Put the money on... Hopped back on and splat... Down I go... I was rounding a corner with one of the university golf carts right behind me... I was nervous with that thing behind me so I was going a bit faster than I really wanted to be going and ice can really just mess your day up... I bounced off the ground and got back on my bike and road off.. No harm no foul...
.: Fast forward to today... I was coming home from the bike shop where I had just picked up some rim tape for my new wheel set.. I was crossing the rail road tracks, making sure to take them at enough of an angle so as to not get my wheels stuck on a rail........... failed......... Down I went.. In traffic... slammed my hand into the road and jammed my thumb and scrapped my knee.. Suckkkkk... Got back up and road off before anything else could happen.... My knee throbbing and not knowing if my thumb was broken or not I peddled home and hung up my bike to clean it off... Found out that my knee was ok and even though my thumb hurt like heck, it seems to be fine, full range of motion and it's not tender to the touch..
.: My bike (Pops) is fine after both crashes.. I messed up part of my peddle but I just wrenched it back into position.. pretty bitter though.. they are sexy peddles.. I should change them out for less sexy ones for the winter... Oh well..
