so i started back on the road today. i was spit shining my pinarello outside of manic coffee today, receiving compliments, enjoying the morning sun, enjoying the coffee, enjoying the street, all while thinking, 'i'm due today. time to pay the piper.' and sure enough, at 1210 today, a chevy silvarado runs a stop sign and takes your poor hero out. chumped by a pick-up, i was.
not to much damage to me. however, my beautiful front wheel, which i painstakingly built, was a write-off. it really hurts to see your own creation destroyed.
i called my girlfriend (after i called the dispatcher, of course), and told her what's what. she was all worried about me until i told her, 'baby, it wasn't even in the top ten.'
i was sort of joking until i actually thought about it. in proper canadian athlete style, this one barely makes the top 15.
oh well. any 'accident' you can walk away from is a good 'accident'. it could always be worse.
ok, here's some pictures of a guy getting sucked through a lathe to prove my point:
actually, it's so fucking gross and frightening, i don't want to post the pictures. you have been warned. really, it's fucking disgusting. and not in the good way. don't fuck around with tools. or traffic. or anything. please don't click the link below. you won't sleep.
(fucking gross pictures)
be safe. please. i'm serious. really.
