I had some poor timing on my bike ride home from work today; the downtown creek path was packed with revelers from the University of Colorado 4 – 20 smoke out. With a large pack of skateboarders was headed towards me, I pressed tight against the edge of the trail. Unfortunately this was not enough as the last member of the pack, carving the entire width of the trail, caught my handlebars. I somewhat spilled onto the grass whereas the skateboarder crashed all over the pavement. As the grass was soft, I (and my bike) came away unscathed; such was not the case for the guy in shorts and a t-shirt who crashed into me. The entire pack quickly rejoined their fallen comrade and initially blamed me for the incident. Drastically outnumbered I tried to reason with them. This did not work. One pulled out his cell phone and started to call the cops; I asked if they really wanted the cops to come while in their current 4 – 20 induced state. This did work. They left.
Apparently I am having trouble with people on boards these days.
