A frantic bike ride home from work ensued, followed by an adventure through the streets of Santa Ana with a new companion…
I’ve had ridiculously bad bike luck of late. I’m sure y’all remember Snaccident 2014, in which I crashed my (mom’s) red Gary Fisher into a parked car due to snacking while biking, ripping open my knee and busting their headlight. Cool.
