Nice post. I like it, made me smile. That bike ride was nuts!!!! 😉
Yah … that bike ride was pretty crazy, eh? I especially loved the maniacal little scream the rider made about halfway through. Anyway … thanks for reading. Your comment made *me* smile!
What you think is “lame”, I think is a great compilation of smile material!! Thanks.
