bikes

so, we went and bought bikes for ian and i to replace the one he got stolen.

I haven't ridden a bicycle in years and i've never been any good at it. but, hey, maybe i'll get a sense of balance out of this. :)

we also got our bike licenses just after purchasing said bikes. we're all law following now on that measure.

silver raleigh 14" something or other hybrid bike. i dunno. i got the one that if i crash i have a hope of not needing stitches in my vagina... i'm short. even the "women's" bikes with the lower bar are high for me.

Oh, god, what a horrible image.

In 20 years of crashing I'm pretty sure that's the one spot I haven't banged up while crashing (a long ride on an unfamiliar seat designed for men is a different story). If your butt stays planted to the seat, you should hit the ground and get scratched up before gravity has a chance to inflict any wounds in that direction.

this actually happened to a friend of mine when she was 12 or 13...

and you can't expect my ability to fall to stay within the confines of gravity and the such; i'm just that powerful at the impossible. :)
