Confucius say:

Went for a bike ride and Johnny (my bike, a beach cruiser) lost a pedal. Tried to reconnect his little pedal but a few feet down the road, it came off again. Being a believer of second chances, made an attempt at attaching the pedal yet again. This time was better…made it a whole block before Johnny let the damn pedal go. Screw this and screw you Johnny! Threw the pedal in the basket and proceeded to pedal with just the one…very awkward feeling pedaling with just one leg, the other doesn’t know what to do so it either tries to play along or just dangle there - lost. Got laughed at by kids as they passed me with fully intact pedals and the breeze they brought along with them. The only breeze available from my end was the huffing and puffing at trying not to fall over while only having A pedal. Fuck…Come on Johnny, we’re walking.
