Oh, oh, how our kids scare us.

NO BIKE CONTENT.
My 19 year old daughter called yesterday morning from a police car on the freeway. Driving in a huge rain storm, she'd spun out my Mitia and put it into the guard rail. She's just fine, the car not fine at all.
She was so rattled she could hardly tell me where she was to come get her. It even took way too long for her to explain she was OK.

Straight road, big rain, no one around (thankfully) the car bounced and ended up spinning twice and wacking the median rail.

My heart just about explodes every time I think about it. What if there had been traffic? What if it had hit something and flipped? OMG...

All day, and still today, I regularly find my heart racing.
