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/off button 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.
