Remember this? Lexi has just, in the last few weeks, become really confident on it. She's been planning all weekend to ride to school tomorrow. Today Vicki even did a practice run with her. Well, this evening she was riding down the hill on our street and somehow lost control. We think the chain slipped somehow, and since the bike has pedal brakes, this rendered them useless. Not good on a hill. She slammed into a fence and totaled the bike. She's okay, but sore (we were afraid at first that she'd cracked some ribs when she hit the fence after flying over the handlebars), and very disappointed that she won't be riding to school anytime soon. We keep telling her there are better way to go about it if she wanted a new bike!
Ooooohhhhh! Poor Lexi! I'm so glad she is okay, but I understand how heartbroken she would be.
