Crashed Bike
Randie, had she not totaled her bike, probably would have just picked up her wheels and biked home as fast as she could to escape the embarrassment…

Whoa… that tire’s not going to be transporting anyone anytime soon. Hopefully Randie can find a good bike store that sells used rims. When I was her age, I lived on my bike; it was my only means of transportation, otherwise known as FREEDOM. Now that I make tons more money, and have millions of more fat cells, I look back on that time and kinda miss it. (Well… I miss having a body that could ride a dozen miles in just over 30 minutes and not even break a sweat.)
Poor Randie! A nasty(though very well drawn) black eye AND a totaled bike! She needs a do-over for the day she’s having.
At least she’ll probably get to spend more time with Tim, that’ll probably take the edge off having to find a new bike.
When I was little, I sort of learned to ride a bike, but on my third lesson I plowed into my Dad. I was so embarassed I never got back on the bike :)! I’d like to give bikes another try soon, enviromentally friendly, good exercise and all that.
On your bike, Meghan! Okay, in Britain that means something different… not intended here… but I have to encourage your bike-riding-ness. I am sure yer dad forgave you for crashing into him, yes? Isn’t it funny what things like that do to the minds of small children? When I was a kid, for a long time, I was afraid of flushing toilets… I’ll spare you the story.
And oh, yes, Pete… bicycles are really a good form of exercise! And for Randie, it’s her main source of transportation. And it’s cheap transportation as well… which is a big deal for a starving artist!
Do I smell a double entendre ;)?
He did forgive me, but I was six or seven and far too sensitive :)! I can understand not flushing toilets, some public toilets sound and act like they’re trying to suck the water and whatnot into the bowels of the Earth! The ones at our library are scary!
