A Walk of Shame

My bike’s front tire was running low, so I pedaled over to the local gas station. I hooked the tire up to the air hose, feeling all confident—right up until I failed to adjust the pressure and the inner tube exploded with a bang that sounded like a shotgun going off.

Every single person at the gas station snapped their heads around, staring at me. And there I was, red‑faced and pretending it was no big deal, forced to walk my bike all the way home while what felt like the entire world watched me.

It was one of those childhood moments where you swear the universe paused just to laugh at you. 😬🚲
