If you can't laugh at yourself...you shouldn't be allowed to laugh at anything.

SO, I got rollers from my mom for my birthday and I'm super excited about it. I have ridden it a few times for 5-10 minutes getting used to it and then one time last week I rode for an hour. Well, today was super cold and I talked myself out of riding outside and so I was going to take advantage of the opportunity to ride on the rollers and really have a great time. I had gotten really good: I could ride with only one hand, or drink, or change channels, or get my hair out of my eyes, or the sweat off my brow. I could even stand up for a second, keep pedaling and readjust on the seat so my bum didn't hurt so much. I was feeling pretty good about myself and I wanted to show everyone my cool new toy, so I decided I was going to video myself and post it. Well, I had my first fall and it was caught on tape. I thought, this is better than watching me ride without incident, that could be boring. Unfortunately, you can't hear me laughing...I'm laughing hysterically, as I do now when I watch it too...I hope you all enjoy it. (By the way, I think I'm going to have a huge bruise on my hip):)
