1. I was riding my bike to school. I had only just left the house and was riding down a street called Henderson. I hear the rattling of metal against metal. Is another biker coming from behind? I turn and look an see a beautiful pit bull running full speed. Beautiful light brown dog. Oh wait, he's heading straight toward me. I turn forward to concentrate on pedaling faster. THWACK! I turn around where the dog had been a car just sped by. The dog was in a lump on the side of the road. It usually takes me 30 minutes to ride to campus. Today, it only took me 20. Sad sad puppy, why were you chasing me.
2. Riding home. I am annoyed. I have already had to stop twice to fix my bag which for some reason keeps sliding off my bike. I am riding, riding. I look down and notice my shoelace is caught in the gear and get wrapped around and around the pedal. Pull onto the sidewalk and slow down because I can't remove my foot from the pedal and I also can not turn the pedal because there is no more slack in my shoelace. Foot stuck to pedal I begin to lean on the that side. I know there is no where to go but down. Luckily there is grass and I fall onto my right side and my bike falls on me. Unluckily, there were cars stopped at the red light, cars in the gas station. Many many Hoosiers, saw this girl fall down.
Lesson: some days are not good for riding bikes, always tie your shoe laces very well, life is very temporary, enjoy it, but don't run into oncoming traffic.

Congratulations on not being seriously injured. That is a skill -- to fall w/o getting hurt.
wait, so did the dog get hit by a car? Is it still alive?
I am very much concerned with your well being too. I'm grateful for the patch of grass that padded your tumble.
puppy go bye bye?
