Bicycle riding and Oldsmobiles is not a good mix for me...
Well I went for a bicycle ride with my daughter today on the Bruce Freeman Trail. We were on our way back home and came to a stop at the intersection of 224 and 27 in Westford, MA I observed a nice looking 1968 442 hardtop, black with a red stripe waiting for the light to change. My daughter and I got the crosswalk signal to cross and as I starting riding across the road and on to the bike path I turned toward the car and in a loud voice I said “Nice 68 442” and then boom, I hit a square yellow structure that split the bike bath in half and I moved that structure off its base and I fell off my bike. I didn’t break and bones or get any cuts, my bike seemed to survive without any issues too. I went to lift that structure back and boy was it heavy. I was feeling lucky that the only one that saw me do it was my daughter as there a grouping of shrubs blocking the cars from seeing it happen but I’m sure they heard it
Overall we had a great couple of hours riding and I’m look forward to it again but I hope I don’t see any more Oldsmobiles when I do😆

Yeah that’s what I mean. You’ll be hearing that laughter again. Like every time she sees a 442.
“Hey dad, remember that time you crashed your bike?”
