I was tearing down the steepest hill and slammed the brakes on to leave a black mark on the sidewalk. <BR/><BR/>wellllll i ended up making a red mark on the sidewalk because i hit the front brakes and flipped the bike over frontwards and cracked my head on the sidewalk.<BR/><BR/>ah.. sweet painful memories of childhood<BR/><BR/>i think the shift is kinda cool looking. wonder if they make 'em for big girls.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551360039767019615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041284.post-1124241590439962642005-08-16T20:19:00.000-05:002005-08-16T20:19:00.000-05:00You can only protect people from so much.

It was a big ole boys bike my dad picked up second hand. I parked it beside the porch, went up on the porch and got on from there because it was too high. And off I went. My dad put wooden blocks on the pedals so I could reach them. I do remember falling off of it on a gravel road, and left a lot of my epidermis on that spot.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113895333054235725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041284.post-1124201749123634022005-08-16T09:15:00.000-05:002005-08-16T09:15:00.000-05:00Why did I not see this post yesterday?I think I'd ...Why did I not see this post yesterday?<BR/><BR/>I think I'd break my head riding that thing.

Oh wait, I already know. The price of gas is going to be so damned high parents won't be able to afford for their kids to drive. In fact soon many families are going to have to either give up the second family car, or get a third or fouth job just to buy gas.wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336145117656216652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041284.post-1124161391170347792005-08-15T22:03:00.000-05:002005-08-15T22:03:00.000-05:00THIS ISN'T FAIR!!!

One time I had my little brother on the handle bars, though, and his foot got stuck in the spokes. I still feel awful about that to this day. And, my rear end got blistered too!! I had it coming though, because Dad had told me not to do it!!Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865722713732049339noreply@blogger.com
