Bikes and crashes

Another day in the holiday and another post by my son.

Today my sister fell off her bike. She had many cuts after her fall. What happened was she fell over her handlebars . Her boot was stuck in the chain. She had a cut on her lip,arm and hand.

Afterwards we watched X-Men 2 which was scary. One of the good guys almost died. She changed her form though so she survived. Just.

After we had dinner {orzo,chicken and sweetcorn } we played Linky. It was me and my father versus my sister and mother as I predicted we lost, badly very badly.

Anyway, as my son has said, I went out for a bike ride with my daughter today who fell and was tangled up.  Her foot did not end up in the chain, but wedged between the front fork crown and the wheel.  In addition to this, her body was caught between the handlebars and the top tube of the frame. How it happened, I have no idea, nor does my daughter, but I am going to have to work out how to fix the bike as the handlebars are out of shape now.  We had to remove a wheel but someone stopped to help us.  My wife was able to collect her (and the bike) and she has been hobbling about since.  And her cycle helmet helped her, it is cracked now and is in the bin.  I am very grateful that I insist that the kids wear one when out on their bikes.

Anyway, hopefully she (and my son who is worried about her) will be fine.
