Dude Falls In Mud On Struble Trail In Downingtown. Biking Accident.

Dear Man that fell off his bike and into the mud a few weeks ago on the Struble Trail in Downingtown,

Hello dear sir. I'm the guy that watched as you tried to turn your bike and the tire clipped the side of the pavement and you went flying off of your bike and into the ditch of mud on the Struble Trail in Downingtown a few weeks ago.

To tell you the truth it was one of the funniest things I've seen in months. And I did ask "Are you OK?" And you said, "Only my pride." (which really isn't the correct answer. That would have been OK if I had asked, "Is anything hurt?" but whatever. You were stuck in a ditch with a bike on top of you and covered with mud).

But seriously. As you tried to make the U-turn and you were all wobbly? I was looking at how there's a 12" drop from the pavement and the grass and I KNEW you were going down. I KNEW it! Did it seem like slow motion to you too??

And what were you doing out so early? Do you have insomnia like me? There was nobody else in sight. Or did you take the bike out because you haven't ridden one in 30 years and you wanted to make sure you'd be able to navigate it. Which you did not. Like your wife probably warned you about.

But no...There was probably a big ole' fight. You probably said, "Helen I know how to ride a bike! You never forget!"

And Helen probably said, "Gene you're going to crash! Why don't you take some cones out to a safe, wide open parking lot and practice?"

But you didn't listen. I bet the guy at the bike shop even gave you a safety pamphlet and you rolled your eyes thinking he was an idiot. You were too excited to get on your shiny new bike weren't you? Little did you know...

Oh and Gene? The best part is when I walked past you and then looked back and you tried to get up and then you collapsed back into the mud. I saw that. It was like you gathered all the strength you had..got your body up a bit and then the old body said, "I can't do it."

I swear I was DYING to take a picture!! Well one good thing though is that you didn't roll further down the hill. So you got that I guess.

But seriously, if you're Googling "Biker Falls in Mud On Struble Trail" and find this post kindly let me know what your wife said when you got home. Did you walk in and start with, "HELEN DO NOT SAY A WORD!"

I bet you did.

*That's really the worst picture. This dude was COVERED with mud. And it really doesn't show the incline too well either.

Dwarf On Bike - Partially True Story.

So I'm driving down the road the other week and do you know what I saw? Yup. A dwarf riding a bike.

Good guess!

I bet that when the dwarf went to the bike shop he walked to the counter and said, "Excuse me, I'll take your smallest bike and your largest helmet"

Then the crabby bike shop owner turned around and said, "Sir I don't have time for your Shenanigans.....Sir?... Sir? (he looks around).

"I'm down here."

"Oh my! I apologize, I thought someone was playing a joke on me..smallest bike AND largest head". The bike owner then takes out a tape measure and measures the height of the little fellow then the circumference of his enormous head. "You weren't kidding you little rascal. Let's get you fitted. And here's a lollipop for you."

This was the beginning of a great friendship.

OK. That part didn't happen but I really did see a dwarf riding a specially made bike down the road. No crazy clown horn or anything. I swear. Just a miniature sized bike. And since many of you know that I used to be friends with a dwarf it's perfectly OK for me to tell you this tale.

The end.
