Charlie does a ‘pete’
During the Lea 10k fun run, while he paced me round the course, Charlie (age 5) managed to cycle straight into a ditch. It wasn’t a desperately bad crash, but he AND his bike disappeared from view amongst the undergrowth. Fortunately, apart from the shock and a few nettle stings he was unhurt – but, as crashes go, it put my usual attempts to shame.
To ensure that ‘doing a pete’ is forever immortalized, I’ve added it to the Wikitionary – see ‘pete’.
