Good morning all, doing my 5 minutes free writing with prompt - The Bicycle of Doom. Hope you enjoy the story.
Tears flow down the cheek of Angela as she is set to deliver the eulogy at the funeral service of Danny, her beloved 15 years old son, who passed away in a traffic accident few days ago while riding his Bicycle of Doom.
Angela started her eulogy describing Danny as an active outgoing teenager like many others his age. As both his parents needs to work, thus they were unable to send him to school and fetch him home. As such, since young, they taught him how to ride a bicycle.
Danny grew to love the sports over the years as he enjoyed the speed and control he has over his bicycle on his journey.
The day before the fatal accident, Danny went to the city's bicycle store to modify his bicycle after joining a group of local youth who all modified their bicycles to be riding it straight laying down and down the slope for maximum speed. They have made the bicycle of Doom as they were not in full control of the vehicle after modification and at the downward speed, they would face serious injury should an accident occur.
True enough, on Danny's first try on his bicycle of Doom, it is also his last try as he lost control on the way down and was flanked of the bike and he succumb to his injuries shortly after.
Let's use our vehicle safety and as it is design for our safety and that of other road users.
