Lance and the Escalade

We all know that Jeff is helping Al Gore and lessening his carbon footprint by riding Frontrunner every day to and from work. This also means he rides his bike to the Frontrunner station. Well as we were on the phone yesterday evening I get this......

"Oh, I was just hit by a car, I'm okay........" and the line goes dead.

WHAT?????

Another thing we all know is that Jeff has been hit numerous times by old ladies while he is out cycling. I figured it was no big deal since he said he was okay but nonetheless, I was worried.

I mean if it was so bad he would have asked me to come pick him up, right?

Yes folks, if you look close you'll see the tire mark from a Caddy Escalade imprinting itself along the outer edges of Jeff's pleated (I keep telling him pleats are OUT this season but he still wears them, so I'm secretly hoping he'll have to purchase a new pair of UNPLEATED khakis) pants. As the story unfolds he was riding in front of Layton Elementary when a big Caddy turns and hits him, throwing him entirely under the SUV and ruining the back wheel of his bike. The lady was so shook up that he took pity on her and rode off into the sunset with a bike that is unrideable. He must be doing something right because another inch and he'd be a star in his own VeggieTales movie playing the vegetable.

The good news: Jeff is fine, unhurt, and may have to go shopping at the Gap tonight.

The bad news: I am following him in the Pilot wherever he goes on his bike. Even if I have to go 5MPH.

PS....he pegs his pants at the bottom only when he rides his bike so that they don't get caught in the chain, he does remind me of the 80's when he does it though.
