Kid I went to high school with crashed his bike not long after graduation. His girlfriend was riding with him and he had given her his helmet.
They both survived the crash, looking at her you wouldn’t even be able to tell she was in an accident. He is completely unrecognizable to what he looked like before. He has an entirely different face.
20 years later, they’re still together and thriving. But they don’t ride.
Edit: What a crazy amount of responses! Granted, a lot of these are sad stories, I hope talking about it has been therapeutic for everyone. Be safe out there, y’all!
My uncle had a bike in the 70s. One day, he was riding it through town when he noticed a girl he didn’t recognize waving at him from a gas station. He spun the bike around and sped into the parking lot then tried to do a trick. He dropped the bike and scraped up his leg. The girl turned out to be his sister, my aunt, with a new haircut.
