washed, cleaned and tuned up the commuter yesterday. I was in a wierd mood so my brother and I went riding. We were talking and messing around. I didn't realize how close he was too me when I said, "watch this." I hit the brakes and brought the rear wheel up. He hit me hard and we both went down in a mess of tangled bikes. My rear wheel is tacoed, the fender and rack are bent and one of the dropouts looks a little funky too.

I just sat there on the ground laughing while he apologized. It wasn't his fault and things happen. later today I'll try to make sense of the mess and try to get a wheel

Lesson learned, a few good laughs and no one was hurt. So, I guess some good came out of it and it could have been a lot worse.
