It happened. Fell off the bike. Flat to the side, bike on top. Don’t know how many people saw it, certainly no one rushed to my aid, as I tried to extricate myself from under the frame. These Dutch bikes are bulky and heavy. The disaster was on the street outside my house, during a traffic pause on a Friday late morning. Nothing serious, but I am sore. How long will this recovery take? Or do I get back on tomorrow?
Got back on same day in fact… never happened again! As a wise young person said to me once in New York when having a disaster on the way to an audition, “Be glad, now that is out of the way!” Meaning you’re going to have something happen, better sooner than later. That is now out of the way.
Update: had the same attributes as contributed to the fall – too sharp a turn, but now with experience saved the day. What a difference a Day makes….
