It was 8am or so when both dad and I fell off our bike. Of all the places to fall off our bike, it is a corner where we were riding at very slow speed. But then the corner was filled with pebbled stones that were use to make roads. Since the stones were not firmly packed enough, our balance were not there and we got thrown off the bike. Well I got thrown off while my dad was flattened by the bike.

I had panicked on seeing my dad lying flat on the ground and scrambled to pull the bike off him as it was crushing his leg. Luckily his leg was fine and the only injury he had was on his ribs as he fell hard on his ribs.

Thanks to my daily stretching (not on those fitness equipment), I was agile enough and the strain that would normally left a person with strained or twisted ankle or knee didn’t affect me. I had to thank the locals who were having breakfast at the nearby kopitiam as they had helped me carry the bike off my dad and pushed it off to the side. The bike chain was off the track but they easily kicked it in.

Anyway dad is recovering right now and I’m putting off any further rides or deliveries for him.
