I would have sworn that I looked through the bicycle forum just last week, but after several similar incidents of having the same mistaken thoughts, it was probably months ago. "The mind is a terrible organ to shovel" is a phrase from the cartoon Ed, Edd, and Eddy that I've been using a lot since bouncing my head off the
concrete last year.
I needed to clean up my garage and I was super busy, work and someone in my house on their death bed had me very out of sorts. I knew with the bad lighting and stuff crowded up everywhere that it was a terrible tripping hazard and I was deathly afraid of breaking my wrist again and not being able to work. I told my roommate, " I'm gonna trip, fall, and break my stupid face." A couple weeks later I bought my fat bike and a month after that I tripped over it and broke my leg, broke my rib, broke my face. Almost certainly in that order. I have no memory of 5 hours before to 3 hours after the incident. Luckily my friend noticed I had gone missing for 20 minutes and found me. Apparently I just got up and walked it off and convinced everyone I was fine. Went I came to, I had no clue I was injured. Imagine my surprise when I saw myself in the mirror in my room before going to bed!
How's that for an ebike purchase story?
