Hello everyone. My name is Geoff, and I have a phobia of bees and wasps. I also have long curly hair. I will tell why this information is relevant to this bike story.
The reason why I say that is because, riding along the cuckoo trail in east sussex, a bee began following me. No joke, for some reason this bee WOULD NOT leave me alone. I even got off my bike and tried to wave it away, but it just came back.
About 5 mins into this annoying bee buzzing around, it dive bombed and fell into my hair ( which was rather big at the time) and then became tangled and angry, buzzing around violently to free itself - or sting my head.
I quite appropriately screamed and crashed my bike into a wall, that caused a few bruises, then rolled around a bit trying to get the bee off. I found a pair of sticks and did a combing motion to remove the bee. Bee gone (dead in fact, I stomped on it) I turned around to find that the wall had bent my front bike tire not quite into a U shape. I had to walk ten miles back the way I came, and paid for a new tire the next day. I think I also had concussion, and that I frightened a nearby child walking her dog when I suddenly screamed like a maniac and flung myself into a wall, rolling around on the ground moaning.
I hate bees.

I hate bees.
- I could feel them in my arms face, etc. I didn't do anything, remained as steady as I could, only my legs were moving.
