shit happens (part 2, the end)

merci (mes potes) les coursiers

il y a 3 mois j'ai commencé a travailler chez urban cycle.
c'eté un peu dur au debut, mais avec votre aide j'ai réussi et je m'amuse bien.
j'adore ce boulot:
(c'est mon rêve)

je roule (plus ou moins vite) en vélo tout la journée. je apprends les plus rapides chemins dans paris et je connais panam un peu mieux chaque jour. et je apprends toujours le français (chistole et le français français quoi) aussi.

je travaille avec les meilleurs coursiers á vélo de paris.
je suis trés fier de travailler avec vous.
et je vous remercie.

bonne route

the olympic flame (shit happens)

shit happens, originally uploaded by pedalturista.

i crossed pont carroussel, on my way to a delivery in rue auber, i wanted to cut across le louvre but the olympic flame was about to pass by there so the road was closed and the cops wouldn't let me cross, so i had to go on quai francois mitterand... my campy zonda got caught up on the pave... i remember seeing my front wheel coming off the fork... and then i just flew over the bars... hands first, then my left knee on the pave... then i rolled over and saw my wheel flying away and the rest of the bike across the road... my messenger bag stopped me. i got up. a cop asked me " ça va?" and picked up my bike... my wheel had 4 spokes broken. the fork is a bit bent. i sat there trying to figure out what happened. i saw the olympic flame surrounded by cops everywhere passed by. i booed...
i was lucky, i guess. i blame the pitlock (somehow it came loose?).
my knee still hurts. i hope i can go back to work on thursday.
(i've borrowed sophie's front wheel again)
