It's a bike! What a surprise.

I had a 50cc Honda which I won when I was 12. (Sucking a Chupa Chup, timed.) This meant (a) I couldn't ride it for many years (b) I was already too tall for it. So I sold it for a pushbike. Nice Raleigh. I crashed it into the back of a parked car trying to read and cycle at the same time. Yes, I've always been like this.

What were you reading? I was reading a guitar magazine. Told the guy I was with "Hey, tell me if I'm about to run into something". Then I kept reading.

*WHAM*

So, after I pick myself off of the back of the car, he yells "Hey! You're about to run into something!"

He remains one of my oldest and dearest friends.

I hereby nominate the pair of you for Darwin Awards (junior category).

I suppose there's a reason why kids tend to bounce.

dude, I cycled into a parked car when I was 17, because I was wearing a hat and tired. it hurt me.

Heh. I did that at 29. Because I couldn't see the damn thing. Stupid dark coloured Laser parked proud in the street where most people park theirs off the kerb. Still haven't bothered fixing my tooth, but I barely notice the scar on my chin now.

at one point I had to do a long trip on my moped, so I took along a battery-operated television and propped it in the front basket so's I could watch tv while getting there ...
