AlleyCat: Cranksgiving (11-22) - Wrapped chain for lock around bottom tube of mini, chain came loose gripping pedal, vaulting me over the bicycle and smashing me into pavement. 13 year old boy made sound of "ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!" as I dragged me carcass from the flow of traffic in between two parked cars. I went on to win the Cranksgiving illegally.
I suppose this was better than a broken arm....
If you have pictures/video of Cranksgiving please post them and then send Saltcycle the linkage.
U-Bomb: 9th East 3rd South (11-23) - Kemmer in his drunken stupidness side swipe/rams me with his mini bike resulting in me crashing into pavement. Minimal damage done due to multiple layers. I went on to complete the U-Bomb down the parking garage, and as Kemmer screamed "U-Bomb!!!" I screamed "Assss-hole!!!" and rammed him with my bike. I hope he hurts when he becomes sober.
I am not one to crash often - nor Alleycat, nor U-Bomb had taken me previously with wounds for over a year... and yet in a weekend I have occurred more battle wounds than I had the entire summer 08.

Its time for a vacation. On to D.C. for me. U-Bomb will continue as scheduled without me - next week 7P Salt Lake City Public Library "BIKE RACK". Do watch out for drunken Kemmer - he is a wild child. We heart regular sized bikes too - ride whatever you feel like riding.
The event this next sunday, the 30th.
poor zed. It's those tiny bikes you ride, methinks.
