Well, the other day I went on a date. And it is actually quite an embarrassing slash funny story. We get to his apartment and he told me we were going for a bike ride. I didn't think anything of it and started to get on my bike. Then I realized I haven't ridden a bike since middle school. And I might not remember how. What is that saying...once you can ride a bike you always can. K that doesn't sound right but it's something like that. FALSE.
I get on the bike and fall over. He holds it for me and I peddle twice and then fall over. I start panicking because this is the whole date and I can't ride the bike! (In my defense the bike was really big for me. Even when I wasn't on the seat and was in front of it I couldn't touch the ground. Just saying). I think I said a lot of embarrassing things like I don't get it how do you not fall over? And how do I get off once I am going? Also I said sorry about A MILLION times. Me falling off at the beginning probably went on for 5 minutes. No joke. I finally was able to ride it. Barely. I was so wobbly and just couldn't ride straight. Also, every time we got to a turn or had to cross the rode I didn't know what to do because I had to stop! And that consisted of me diving to the side since I couldn't just get off the seat. At first I couldn't even look anywhere but straight ahead let alone talk to the kid. Once I was on the side walk feeling pretty good about my riding skills when I just went right into the grass next to us and couldn't get back on the side walk without jumping off the bike. I sure couldn't control the thing.
Needless to say he didn't ask me out again. I was really sore the next day too. Embarrassing? Maybe. He probably thinks I'm this girly girl who can't ride a bike. Which I might be. Whoops. Sorry to disappoint you dad. :)
It was an adventure that is for sure. I should probably learn how to ride a bike. Again.

Joslin that is really funny! I couldn't help but laugh:)
ReplyDeletethat is so hilarious. hahaha oh man i wish i could have seen that.
ReplyDeletehahahhhah. BUTTT if it makes you feel any better you SHOULDNT have rode the bike that was too big. HE shouldnt have made you ride a bike that was too big. i can only ride kid bikes...not like baby biked but like teen sized bikes...if that makes sense. if you had a bike that was your size you would have been a lot better. if you are sitting on the set you should be able to touch the ground with atleast your tip toes.
ReplyDeleteha, what a dumb boy for making you do that when he obviously saw you were falling a lot. but im sure you kept saying "no its fine"
