Not my fault.

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Not my fault.

Not my fault.

I stopped by a gas station today mid ride to pick up a water and a power bar. As I was putting my bike up against the wall outside my helmet bumped a box on the wall. There was a large button on the box which read "Emergency stop all pumps". As I was finishing up paying for my goods four angry customers were walking in saying all of their pumps stopped working. I got out of there really quick before anyone realized it was me.

Awesome. At least it wasn't a fire alarm or sprinkler. Though, if it was, it would have made me laugh a little harder.
