Every school day Matt bikes 5 miles to school no matter what the weather- sunny, rainy, windy… and now snowy. He definitely sacrifices a lot for our family and we really appreciate it! Everyone in our ward that also bikes (mostly recreationally) has told Matt to expect to crash or fall multiple times- we have been lucky that Matt hasn’t fallen… until this past week. Yes- Matt experienced his first fall and luckily it wasn’t bad and it didn’t involve another bike or car.
There was snow on the ground and it was really slick (Matt said that there were no other bike tracks in the snow which is crazy because typically there are DOZENS of bikes out). Matt had biked about 3 miles and was about to turn from one main road to another main road, and he lost traction and fell. Luckily there were no cars in the lane he was in waiting for him to get back up and go (there were other cars driving around him though). We are definitely blessed that he didn’t get too hurt and that his bike is ok.
He is VERY disappointed about what happened to his favorite waterproof jacket though:
Yup that’s right- its torn at the elbow :( Here is a picture of his battle wound:
