Sidewalk Launch

I shot out from under the rubber threshold door flap straight into the wide-open outdoors! Cold afternoon breeze hit my red bricks instantly, but I kept my wheels spinning fast. Right down the building's concrete accessibility ramp, a dropped metal bicycle bell dome lay upside down on the smooth aggregate. I didn't swerve. I throttled up and charged head-on! Clang! My front nose struck the hollow brass bell, flipping it into a spinning silver disc that rolled ahead of me like an outrunner scout. I braked hard, drifting sideways until my rear wheels locked against the flanged iron base of the ramp railing. Grand street view unlocked!
