When I pulled up to the light, I tried to pull my foot out and my foot just came out of my shoe, which stayed in the pedal, while I went down kind of half cursing/half laughing. There weren't too many witnesses luckily. Also, luckily it was a dry day.
Nice. Unfortunately for me, there were some dudes right nearby laughing their asses off. I laughed with them, because I don't embarrass easily and I thought the noise I made as I went down was pretty funny, but they didn't give me the pleasure. They were laughing at me. Whatever.

I'm up for a ride tonight, but I don't get done with my tutorials until 6:30 and then I have to transit back into the city, which can take up to an hour+, depending how long I have to wait for bus/sub/streetcar/all three. So if you're not meeting up until 7:30-8, I'll be there. Don't postpone it for me, though.
