I saw a funny incident this morning at the gym. This dude riding a cheap mtb. Obviously a newb (or drunk hehe), he’s riding around the carpark and takes an easy, slow corner.. but he doesn’t turn! Doesn’t lean, nothing..
So, by now he’s overcooked it and ‘slowly’ runs into a tree. He hit it at a shallow enough angle to scrape along and continue.. He was smiling and so were the 5 people that watched him. I don’t think the SAAB/Beemer(?) owner who’s car was parked right next to the tree would have been..
I have been riding bikes for years….many many years
and I still have these moments where I fall down for very little reason at all
it is humbling
it makes me laugh
we all need to be humbled
and
we all need to laugh more
I must admit…very little gives me greater pleasure then the misfortune of others….
well…
the simple slip on the ice
or tripping on a shoe lace
not the big stuff
just the little stuff makes me laugh
