How Crashing My Bike Led to True Love
Sometimes an accident is all you need to jump start your love life.
by Betsey Carter
Just then, my front wheel locked into his back wheel. I flipped over my bike and into the air. I could see him below me, lying by the side of his ruined bike. I closed my eyes and waited for the worst.
Somehow, he stuck out his right arm and caught me in midair. I fell against him with a thud, but that was all. There was no blood, no broken bones. We lay there among the battered bicycles, the zinnias scattered around us like a bad joke. Once we realized we were OK, we started to laugh. In my time of calamity, this was a minor miracle. I laughed so hard I started to cry.
By the time we learned that he’d injured his spleen when he caught me, we were seeing each other every night.
By Thanksgiving we had moved in together, and last week, we took a long bike ride in celebration of our fifteenth wedding anniversary. Both of our spleens are still intact.

Thanks for the update. I appreciate it. I’ll keep reading for new tidbits. I tried to subscribe to your magazine and was very disappointed to learn it was no longer going to be published. Now, I’m waiting for the replacement….”True Stories”.
If you ever decide/can publish a magazine again, let me know.

Good question, PearlGirl. We typically run several dozen new articles every week.This is an older article that we thought deserved a second life. Thanks and keep reading.

This article is old. How often is the site updated?

I’m totally getting into the law of attraction. What you focus on, you get. Your story is a good example.
