Description: Bicycling through Golden Gate park on a nice Sunday afternoon, everyone else in the park on the closed off street, the young girl lost control of her bike an cut over at 90 degrees, tboning my front tire. I flipped over the front, minor bruises, but a horked front tire. Her mom was there, and apologiezed (but didn’t apologize enough to offer to buy me the tire that her daughter just destroyed, sigh). Reminder, slow down through there, and if you are inexperienced, and start panicing…. just hit the brakes and stop. No need to go running into other people. Just stop. Stopping is good. It can be your friend. Love the stop. love it!
