Cruiser’s Current Thoughts

So yesterday, Im on my way to work. JUST as I take the exit on the highway, my bike runs out of GAS. Now, I am only approximately 800-1000 meters away from work. Best part? Its up hill. Even better? Im on my bike.

Now, I usually get there with enough time to change into my uniform, strike up a quick chat with the guy or gal Im relieving, and begin my shift. Now I know Im gonna be late, but now I noticed I didnt bring my phone! Now this makes things better cause its 10:50pm and everything is closed. Yay for me.

So I did the only thing I could do. I started pushing. No way Im just gonna abandon my bike in an empty parking lot. After about 10 minutes of pushing, I see blockbuster. I stop the bike, and walk in. I called the guy and said Im gonna be late so he wouldn’t get mad. Then I went back outside and started pushing again. Then, EVEN in 50 degrees weather, I got HOT. I took off my jacket and pushed again. I pushed for maybe 25 minutes, all uphill. I got tired, sore, but was feeling the great workout.

Thankfully, there was an HEB gas station I’ve never noticed just before my turn, so I went in there and got gas. Then I hopped on my bike and rode for 3 minute and got to work.

Try pushing a 650lb bike uphill for an AMAZING workout you’ll never forget!

HAPPY HALLOWEENIE THE POOH!
