Biking experience!

I was traveling for the first time on a highway in a bike. The rains were pouring and at the speed that I was driving my bike, I actually felt like I was being slapped by some 4 to 5 people at the same time. We had three close calls with death. First one was when a dog actually came helter skelter onto the roads, I was barely able to stop my bike. I can still feel the clutches of the fingernails, which were dug deep into my collar bone. It has become a love bite of sorts. The second time, there was a truck which I thought of as two two wheelers coming parallely, there was no escape but luckily, the driver wasn't as drunk as you generally expect truck drivers to be. And so he stopped and we moved on. We had completed the highway ride and were now going up a hill ( our intended destination). This is when the third time happened, we had a white blinding spot on a sharp turn, that actually blinded both of us. I came close to the end of the hill and somehow I had stopped my bike, death was imminent otherwise. The clutches of the girl's hands on my shoulder actually got even sharper, it pierced my skin hard, it felt as if, I was being stabbed through my heart. That is when I noticed that we both had reached the blinding white place and it was not her who stabbed my heart.

  1. Wow, seems like you had an experience right there! Riding bikes can be fun but it can also be dangerous. I don't remember the last time I rode a bike because I'm so busy myself. Just make you wear helmet and be careful no matter what because accidents can occur anytime.
