We're on spring break right now (I work part time as a crossing guard), the weather is nice so I decided to take a 25 mile bike ride. One mile before arriving home I went to put my foot on top of a barrier post at the end of a bike trail and missed. I was basically stopped but I couldn't get my foot unclipped from the other pedal fast enough.
I proceeded to tip over in what felt like slow motion and lay there briefly like a beached whale. By the time I untangled myself and got up I discovered the front rim was bent like a potato chip.
The bike is my primary transportation so at least I have a few days to get another rim before the kids start school again. It is, though, an unexpected expense we didn't need right now.
All because of a break in concentration.
I feel so silly.
