Goretober Day 7: Accident

Based on a True Story

Oh, that's going to leave a nasty bump... and a few scrapes.

True story: back in 2022, I was riding around the area, and on a downhill area, I zoned out briefly and then ended up crashing into a brick wall, which was the side of the Snack Shack. I ended up walking back home and just being grumpy bc of the pain. Luckily, no bones were broken, but a nasty concussion on my right temple.

Should you be killed in an incident out of your control, the heart eater takes pity, for he knows you had a life to live. However, if this accident was caused by your own hand, he merely laughs at your misery.

Had my first truly scary bike incident today.

Riding with a friend and her front tire got caught in this crack - out of the corner of my eye I saw heard her yell then saw her flip over the front of the handlebars.

I thought for sure I was going to have to call an ambulance when I stopped and ran back to her.

Somehow, she managed to crash relatively unscathed - no blood, helmet still intact, no obvious broken bones. Her bike wasn’t totally destroyed either, which shocked me.

I did just find out that she does have a radial fracture in the arm she landed on, which means her hopes for her first Ironman 70.3 are now practically zero since it’s in 3 weeks.

A very sobering day. I know it wasn’t my fault and I’m very thankful I was able to get ahold of some tri friends to come pick us up, but I still feel bad since I asked her to ride with me and on a different route.

Biking is scary. Be safe. Wear your helmet ALWAYS.

[dark rider au] pre-race ritual

[rainyculdesac]

basically a ramble about the wheels moment, tamarack, and baxter

so you know how you get to pick your vehicle of choice in the prologue?

when you choose roller skates, you get this funny dialogue

when you choose skateboards, qiu says this instead!

but when you pick a scooter, you get a reeeally specific scene.

keep in mind, tamarack does not know how to stop vehicles besides scooters. this is an incredible bit of characterization, because she asks to try your wheels of choice FIRST, gets on it with confidence, and then has the gall to say this:

she asks if she should jump off a bike before this. character of all time.

(btw, if you pick roller skates and save her, the narration says you will need new socks, so you are def going home with holes in your socks lol)

so of course she cant swap scooters with you! she swaps with baxter.

the scene itself is hilarious too.

"i know how to ride any kind of bike i want" girl no you dont this scene really leans into tamarack bothering baxter until he gives in, its so good. he helps her get on the bike, too! and then the usual happens, tamarack fumbles, the mc or baxter can help her, things settle down.

the nonchalantness really sells it! the mc can say it too.

overall, when you stay back with tamarack and baxter, he gets constantly compared to a babysitter. but when qiu and renee come back and ask us what we did, baxter answers first:

this rich snooty kid gave up his bike to someone who not only could have crashed it, but also had to ride a scooter dressed up with stickers, all while effectively babysitting two kids.

and he had fun! now you all know each other!

Chick: So are you gonna explain how the hell you crashed my car?

Buck: Well we were driving and there was a deer in the road, so I said "Bucky, deer!"

Chick: ...And what did Bucky do?

Buck: ...He said "Yes, doll?"

IF NOBODY ELSE WILL DO IT THEN I WILL)

*skedaddles up to [REDACTED] and whispers in their ear*

"I crashed your sports bike in a waffle house parking lot on accident and ran over 3 pedestrians on the way there-"

“Please tell me it was Teo, Elanor, and Violet that you ran over on accident.” Without missing a beat, [REDACTED] leans into your side and brings you close with one hand. “…No? It's 'kay."

Before you know it, he's pulling out his fancy keycard with a second pair of keys on them and a smirk on his face. "…I got a Corvette parked ‘round the back. You up for... "bowling" with waffles after?”

Btw I am convinced that Marc takes vacation in warm countries cause in some cases the cold can trigger (muscle) pain and impact movement. Like literally winter literally freezes my muscles and joints together (it feels like it)
