So today I’m biking to go so Valentine’s day prep stuff; I’m still on campus, I make a turn around a fountain without incident and continue into the flat sidewalk where my bike tire catches on /something/ and it skids sideways.
My purse goes flying out of the basket, /I/ go flying forward off the bike- my aikido training kicks in, I land on my shoulder in a forward roll, and I do a barrel roll unharmed across the grass.
Mind you, all of this in front of a crowd because people are between classes. I dust myself off, gather my shit, get back on, and bike away as if nothing had happened
