Tied to the Trike

[susanstinson]

I was riding my trike yesterday when my shoelace got wound around one of the pedals. I stopped, then pedalled one more time around to get to the side of road, which wound the lace so tightly around the pedal that I didn't seem to be able to get off the trike, never mind unwind the lace. It was pulling my shoe so tight that it squeezed my foot painfully, too. I was pulling my foot and trying to break the laces or get out of the shoe, when, somehow, I managed to get off, and everything loosened. I got unwound, and tied quite a careful double bow on my shoe.

Even the simplest things suddenly become less simple.
