My first post wasn't real, obviously, then I remembered this which was actually embarrassing. I was riding in college after getting a "to go" bag of food from the cafeteria to take home. Being the cafeteria, there were a lot of people nearby. I hopped on my bike and I'm feeling pretty cool, cuz I've got my iPod, which weren't so ubiquitous at the time, and I've got my food and I'm cocky anyway because I'm an idiot and I start pedaling. It was really cold out, but I didn't realize it was cold enough for ice. I didn't get more than like 5 cranks into the ride when my bike just completely kicks out from underneath me. Both tires just pushed out and gravity went nuts on me. Reacting to the fall, I launched my bag of food across the street into a field and threw my Ipod onto the path and I hit...hard. I looked around in a considerable amount of confusion because my food was nowhere in sight and I knew I was holding it like 2 seconds ago..also I was on the ground. I had no idea what happened, all I knew is that my food was gone, the iPod was far away and my bike was pissed at me.
