Swamp Thing

Today I got to hang out with one of my favorite people in the world, my friend Amanda Teague. I had just got back from Trent's house when I remembered that she had off of work today. I texted her and we decided to go on a bike ride. I went over to her house we got get bike out of the shed. She had a sweet pink and white beach cruiser. Her tires were pretty flat so we went to a close by gas station to pump them up. Along the way we had lots of nice conversation. The air pump at the gas station was lame and took me a little bit to pump it up, but I got it done. She wanted to ride to Steak and Shake to check her schedual. When went a little ways up 17-92 and she had realized she dropped her phone. Luckily we found it not to far back and it was in perfect working order. We went down Rode Island to Vertans Memorial and it turned out to be the wrong thing to do. While on Vertans Memorial I got a phone call from my friend Devin saying he say me riding me bike. While I was on the phone a man told me that the sidewalk was flooded. I said thank you for the information and didn't pay any mind to it. I looked at the fooded sidewalk and thought it wasn't too deep to ride across. Thats where I made my mistake. It went from ankle deep to knee deep in no time. It was pretty funny if you ask me. I got my shoes soaked and Amanda was freaking out cause it was nasty water. In our escape out of this Amanda's right peddel fell off. She didn't want to go back in the water so I had to retrive it for her. I came back and attempted to put it back on, but screw that goes into the crank arm was a little stripped. We were about a half mile from Steak and Shake and I offered for her to ride my bike instead of hers. She said there were pliers for me to get the peddel on there so we proceeded. The ride was more than challenging. I was on a really small beach crusier with one peddel with a few small hills ahead of me. It was quite the workout to say the least. I know some people that past by got a kick out of a kid ridding a pink girls bike. We finally got to Steak and Shake and I fixed the peddel with the help of some pliers. Amanda and I hung out for a little bit there as I enjoyed my water and she got a root beer (Good girl). Jessica wanted us to come over so Amanda and I left Steak and Shake to go to her house which wasn't far from Amanda's house to begin with. We took a different route to avoid the last mishap. Apon leaving I realized my seat was extremly low and had to raise it, for maximum speed of course. It looked like a storm was rolling in. The wind was against us and that wasn't too fun. Amanda's tires were going flat again so she must have a little hole somewhere. It was still decent enough to ride the rest of the way to Jessica's house though. Seeing Jessica was very nice, because we don't get to hang out often. It sucks because she pretty much lives down the road. It was nice hanging out with her. I ate one of her bananas and she gave me a huge vegan/vegetarian cook book. She is an awesome girl. I later had to leave to run my mom to Walmart. Walmart is the devil.
