You know, this is the kind of thing that used to make me wonder if I
had ESP or something (LOL)...I was watching that girl go by, checking
out how her ass sat on her saddle, and at that point is when she took
a spill!  Thing is, she was already like four yards or so ahead of me
(she flew by me as I was remounting after a call-of-nature pit-stop),
and I had just started pedaling and checking her out when she flew off
her bike and rolled across my path very neatly to the side of the
road!

The other case that Sunday was this couple, and I saw it just as the
guy was trying to steady the girl and her fall caused them both to
sink.  That was cute, seeing a couple crash together like that, as if
on a tandem, hehe.  =)
