I totally just got that song stuck in your head, didn’t I? You’re welcome. J BYU gave us each a bike to use for the summer and let me just say they are awesome! Straight out of 1943, I swear. Bright orange with a basket and a sweet bell that rings every bump I hit. Basically I feel like a balla. Haha I really do love that thing though. I was pretty nervous to use my bike at first, partly because I lack any sense of direction and also because I haven’t ridden a bike since I was 8 years old. Now I absolutely love it! It’s so nice not having to depend on rides from people! Sweet freedom! I also enjoy the fact that I have yet to crash. For me, that’s pretty good.
I’ve had a couple of close calls though. There was this one time I’m just merrily riding my bike along when this car opens their door right in front of me. I swerve out of the way and just barely dodge it. It was pretty much awesome. I felt just like a ninja, except I don’t think most ninjas yell “HOLY CRAP!” as they do their moves. Very recently I was riding my bike in a torrential downpour when I didn’t see this like grate thing in the road. I hit it and my bike starts making these crazy racecar noises. At this point I’m about 87 percent sure my bike’s going to blow up. I check the chain and the tires and there don’t seem to be any problems, just I just keep riding but there go the racecar noises again. As I’m playing an explosion countdown in my head, I think to turn off my little pedal powered headlight. Crisis averted. Yes!
One of my favorite moments on the bikes was when Becca didn’t have her’s but me, Noah, and Hayley all did so we took turns riding doubles. This looks so funny!!! I wasn’t too bad at it. I looked slightly intoxicated, but that’s pretty normal for me on a bike. The best moment though was when I was giving Becca a break from riding on the back and letting her drive. We totally like fell over right on this busy street, so I had to jump ship, landing right in a gutter. Hilarious. After that we revoked Becca of her doubles license haha Hayley tried but couldn’t stop laughing and I really couldn’t blame her. It is pretty funny. I rode with Noah for the rest of the way. He’s basically a pro. He didn’t even look drunk! Now that takes skills. We’ve done the doubles thing like 3 times now and I’m getting good! Now that’s a skill you can take right to the bank J
