Halfie the Half-blood falls off his bike · 29 July 04
Woke up this morning and fell off a bike.
The bikes here are short and have baskets. I felt off balance from the start. Nathan (my predecessor here in Kumamoto) and I rode the 30 minutes to the agricultural high school where I’ll teach two days a week.
Looks like I’ll pass rice paddies, a junkyard and a chicken coop on the way into work.
On our trip back, I put a map of the route into my bicycle basket and tried to lead the way. A breeze caught the map, I reached for it, and somehow ended up on the ground facing the wrong way with my bike behind me.
Some asphalt in the palms, some blood on the elbow, but otherwise okay.
It was the kind of lame accident that might happen to Mary Poppins.
