Before I even had the chance to introduce my newest family member, “Huffy,” he was taken from this world.
I bought a bike a few weeks ago so that I could ride more to work and around town in general - a great feature of living somewhere like Pasadena. But, as I was returning from the gym on my newest buddy the other day, I, or more specifically, Huffy, was struck by a car and died. I tumbled across the hood of the car and inexplicably landed on my feet and hands without a scratch on me. It was fairly unbelievable and I was probably lucky that I was nice and loose after having just worked out.
The guy who hit me was deeply apologetic and a few days later, gave me enough money to replace the bike.
So, while Huffy’s time was far too short, I am please to introduce you to my even newer family member, “Schwinn!”

Love the new family member. But I’m very grateful that you are okay. Nice Spiderman move, tumbling over the car hood.

Seriously! Nice Spidy move! I just bought a bike at a garage sale or $5 so i could do the same thing. Here in the burbs, its dangerous to ride…i might need to come out there and take some lessons from you.

Dude! Glad you only crashed and didn’t burn. That front wheel is a little bent - just like you….and me. Keep “Schwinn” out of traffic!
