I thought that yesterday was a bad day. Because I lost my phone in sea. But what happened today…
It’s hard to admit. I must give up for a while. My bicycle is broken. My everything is broken…. 😑😑😑😞
Let’s explain how was that day! It’s starts very well tough. I wake up in morning and was going to Sakata for sightseeing.
Photos from Sakata and on the way to planned place.
From Yunohama to Sakata was around 20km. Then I’ve planned to go to Yurihonjo for a night.
With surroundings of beautiful views I’ve ride around 35km… 😑 and then
Accidentally, it happened. No, it wasn’t even dangerous way or downhill. Straight road. But I noticed that there is a sign that there is the bike path and pavement. So I changed it instead of road. And literally a few meters later I laid on the ground. And how? Believe me or not. But I didn’t notice the huge curbstone. I rode with sunglasses and also entered into shadow…. I was convinced that the asphalt is straight and I can go. Before I knew what was going on I laid on the road. This curb really rose from the ground. I somehow stand up quickly and just my right arm and leg was hurt… but the bike was worse. It couldn’t even be led. Folded in half. The frame has broken.
Good luck that nothing happened to me. Bruises and the worst pain in right arm. There will be some scars. But the biggest will be at heart… that I can’t go on.
I did not expect it to crash so quickly … 😑 but maybe it was supposed to be like that. Maybe I need to rest a bit. Nothing by force.
In Japan there are a lot of bicycles to buy 😉 🗾
Continuing… a few meters from the place of accident was a car repair salon. Fortunately 😀 because they helped me. The lady treated my wounds and called all bicycle stores in the area. The gentleman helped me with bike, transport it on the car and then to the train station.
Unfortunately it was quite late afternoon. So one solution was to take a bicycle and travel by train. However, remember that in Japan it is impossible to transport a bicycle without a special bag. !!! But in this situation people from this car repair salon called the station where I get on and off that in this case I can bring a bike. And they gave me a lift with this bike to Kisakata station. And there I transported the bicycle through the back door and went by train to Yurihonjo for the night.
When I arrived to Yurihonjo, I was so tired my body couldn’t move anymore. 😴 Of course, I called my friends and family and fall asleep without thinking what would happen next.
With a heavy heart, I think that the bike can not be fixed. But I can buy a different one or come up with a different way of transportation ? … 😎 maybe hitchhiking?
It will be OK👌
I hope so.
I mean there is always another way out.
I need to rest a bit for now. I will see what can be done tomorrow.
