My So-Called Perfunctory Existence

I almost got myself killed! (but that's in a good way)

The other day, Ann suggested to me that we
rustle up a bunch of people and go for a long
bike ride. I preferred to call it assembling a
gang. But whatever. So today we got Bryant
and Adam and decided to go out and ride. We
visited a park near me, Hansen Park. Now
before I go further I need to tell you that the
bike I have is a 1961 Schwinn Breeze whose
wheels, brakes, chains, etc. have never been
replaced. I haven't ridden on the bike since 3
years ago too so it was pretty beat. We went
up this huge hill and then decided to go back
down. It was all going well...until I realized that
my brakes no longer worked. Down I flew,
past Ann Marie and shot out into a field,
unable to stop and screaming all the way.
Then I fell over and laughed for about 5
minutes. I think Ann thought I had lost it. I
was so scared that I was going to flip the bars!
But it was fun!
