Murphy and me
- My bike frame breaks. At first I don’t know what’s going on, and I drive the bike for some 6 additional kilometers.
- I buy a new bike. Five minits after leaving the shop, happily testing the new gears, the chain breaks. I have to return on foot.
- The bike has automatic LED lighting. One evening, the rear light lights up and does not shut off. It remains lighted for 48 hours.
- At work, I park the bike in the basement. When the doorknob comes off, I find myself locked in there with no help around.
A small share of bad luck the pas few weeks, but in the end I can consider myself lucky:
- The broken frame caused no accidents.
- My new bike is quite okay now and the chain is holding well.
- I found the
on/auto/offbutton on the rear light. Just search harder! - After ten minits, a passer-by in the basement opened the door for me from the other side. Even then, cell phone reception was remarkably good for a basement.
