Sometimes, if I'm running late, I will make breakfast on the go. Something that I can eat while riding, like a burrito. Depending on how tasty it is, I'll try to sneak in one last bite before a car hits me. You never know, it could be the last bite I ever have!

This morning's burrito was especially tasty: egg, velveeta, ham cubes and a little mayo. Unfortunately, a rogue school bus driver crossed into the bike lane and scraped my left elbow on the way in to work this morning. Something took over, call it instinct, and so like a cheetah with opposable thumbs, fast as lightning I was able to switch the burrito to the other hand and finish every delicious bite.

Lesson here: make every burrito count, and keep your elbows tucked in.
