A Laughing Bike Ride



By Carly

Screeeeeeech! My bike jolted to a stop.  I jumped off and walked over to the damp wall and leaned my bike up against it. My mom, sister Perrin and my cousin Johanna walked in behind me. We all pulled off our helmets and hung them on our handlebars. We walked over to the side of the road and waited. Two minutes had passed when we herd a scraping noise. As they came into sight, we realized that my dad was dragging his feet on the ground, a bewildered cousin Daniel riding behind him. Daniel stopped when he got to us, but my dad was heading strait towards my mom. SCHHHHHCSSHH!!!! My dad was trying to slow himself down by scraping his feet on the road. My mom ran forward and caught his handle-bars so he wouldn’t crash into her. “Why didn’t you use your breaks?” asked Johanna. “They’re completely busted,” My dad grumbled. All of a sudden, everybody else burst out laughing. “What?” he questioned. “Before we started biking you asked everyone to check if their breaks were working,” I chuckled. Everyone’s did when they tried, but you didn’t even try, and you were the one who needed it the most!! We all fell over laughing again. He tried to hold it in, but my dad started laughing too.
