I Recently Got Into A Bike Accident My first bike accident in the Netherlands. 🚲🚵😅 Nothing special going on lately… just a bit of bad luck this week. After almost 1 year and 4 months of biking around the Netherlands, I finally experienced my first accident. I was biking downhill on my way to work when my bike went too fast. I lost control, and it was too late to hit the brakes. I ended up sliding down the road. 😬 Right after, I quickly stood up, checked my face (yes, I even took a selfie and sent it to my boyfriend 😅), my knees, and hands. Luckily, no serious injuries. Just a scratched chin, bruised hands, and one big wound on my knee.

Even after that, my first thought was to message our head chef to say I’d be 30 minutes late. Then I went home, changed my clothes, and still went to work. 🫠 Now it’s Thursday, and because of this accident, I had to skip an opportunity to earn an extra €85. A bit sad about that, but I guess my body deserves some rest after everything. 💆🏻‍♀️✨ Sometimes, life gives us small wake-up calls in unexpected ways. Maybe this was one of those moments — to remind me that it’s okay to slow down, to listen to my body, and to appreciate simple things like safety and healing. I might have fallen, but I’m still grateful — grateful it wasn’t worse, grateful I could still get up, and grateful for another day to keep going. ❤️
