Alriiiight First Fall!
Well I'm doing my sprint against the win to realllly get that extra umph burn! Do a little speed check on the comp and BOOM! Little weiner dog runs right in front of me. Did a little "OH GOD!" and went straight on over. Luckily there was a witness there to see it all happen. Gotta admit though I feel reallly bad for that pup. No idea who's dog it was since it ran way off down the street. Anyways I've got a little problem. My brake/gear component thing/part that's connected to the handlebar is twisted inward towards the stem. Do these things rotate? I'll get some pictures up as soon as I can. Btw bike is an Ocr3.

I did that when I was about 7 years old, on my blue bike with the basket and banana seat. I was riding with my Dad and a weiner dog ran out in front of me. I didn't see it in time, and all I could do was run it over---bump bump! The dog went "Yipe yipe yipe!" and ran back into its yard, but it was ok. I cried I'm still a softie.
