Kelley!

This is my friend Kelley.

Since I have two bikes,

I used to let her borrow the BofA bike and we would ride alllll over Oakland.

But Kelley moved to New Zealand in Sept. :(
And the day before she left she had a nice little crash.

And so she got to sit in an airplane seat for like 16 hours with this boo boo, which was right where the arm rest rubs.
A nice little reminder of Oakland and good times.

RBG Bike

Peter's RBG Bike with no brakes

and what it did to me

which was totally just my own fault and my own stupidity

crashing..

sucks so bad.
you feel stupid.
you feel angry and wronged.
you feel like *OUCH!*

you want to get out of the street.
you want your bike to be ok.
you want to heal.

But before it's too late, you want to show the world your wounds.
Ok, maybe that's just me. Is it? I don't know. Maybe it is.

maybe I'm just trying to get you to feel sorry for me.
maybe I'm just trying to get you to notice how totally hard core I am.
or maybe I'm just trying to relate,
because I know that you've been hurt too.

We ride and we laugh.
We ride and we crash.
We get up. We blog.

This blog is for you.
This blog is for me.
