“Life’s never smooth sailing, and hardly anyone truly gets it.”
New Year’s coming—time for some red to bring in luck and fiery energy!
Took the bike out earlier. Kids jumping into the path out of nowhere? Handled it—brakes worked fine. Squeezing through tight spots? No sweat. Last-second swerves? Nailed it. Then, just as I was about to reach home, a tiny bend took me down—P7, meet pavement. [facepalm emoji]
Seriously, the turn wasn’t even tight—maybe 50 degrees tops, realistically just 30. I was crawling at walking speed.
But “we plan, the universe laughs.” Bike slid, I ate pavement. (Probably a slick patch from pooled water?)
No real damage. Right leg and arm took the hit—just a fingernail-sized scrape (thankfully, barely moving). Left calf’s front inner side’s sore—maybe whacked the pedal or just strained it (swollen, so probably the pedal).
Silver lining? As an IB kid, now I’ve got IA material: “How Wet Pavement Messes With Bike Physics in Turns.” [thumbs up emoji]
——————Unsolicited Advice?——————
Let my “blood-paid wisdom” sink in: skip biking on wet curves.
Yeah, it’s “obvious,” but if you bike daily or just love riding, drill this into your head.
“Better paranoid than sorry.”
Pavement gets sneaky slick. (Last year’s crash? Same deal—rainy curve, faster wipeout, nastier road rash.)
Bottom line: Stay in one piece. Health and safety trump everything. But good vibes won’t save you—staying sharp does.
(Note: Stripped AI polish for raw, human rhythm—choppy where real speech is, with sarcasm intact. Emojis stay; they’re how people actually text.)
