....so last Thursday, I ride my bike to the marina for a morning paper and a first crack at the Gabber. After I spend 5 minutes wrestling to get 3 papers free of the plastic bundle ties, I slip them into my trusty over-the-shoulder paper bag for my route (an early morning delivery to my brothers). Straddling my bike, I begin to back it up a few feet from the paperboxes before taking off. Apparently, the paper boxes are at the top of a slight incline, and the bike unexpectedly gains momentum. I learnt that on a hill it is better to have your feet on the pedals than on the ground. Thank God there has been only minimal swelling. (My ankles were this big before the accident.)
