while riding my bike
loving the breeze and the sun
flying and ready for summer to begin
I converted a pair of long pants into shorts
though not by a method I would recommend.

Although summer is here and one could always use another pair of shorts, I could suggest a better way to acquire them…. 🙂

Mom said to post this. Be careful ! The pants can be replaced. The knee does not need the extra bruises and contusions. You are supposed to get ice cream at the end of the ride. Not first aid.

Riding’s easy – it’s the stopping that gets tricky. Better a knee than a forehead, however.
Did you cry?

Looks like a little red-eyed knee demon.
When I was a kid I was biking up a hill (on the wrong side of the road) and saw a friend coming down (on the right side of the road). At the last minute I swerved right, he swerved left and our front tires met.
I learned something that day.
