Skidder

Erika goes biking every Thursday night and last week, she had a bit of an incident. Below is the story from one of her friends about what happened. Note - she didn't fall - she's an exceptional athlete.

About 13 miles into the ride, riding 20+ mph, Erika's chain locked up and sent her skidding the length of a football field - OK, maybe that's a slight exaggeration... but really, check out the picture (taken with Madonna's camera phone). There was a skid mark from me in back to Erika in front. And she managed to stay upright the whole time! amazing! In what I imagine looked something like a 3 stooges episode, we attempted to dislodge the chain (knocking helmets, falling over, you know...) until a self-proclaimed "mechanical genius" made it his personal mission to fix it, but Travis still had to come bail us out....and Erika will now be known as "Skid" or "Skidder".
