Scary moment

When I was 10 years old, I used to enjoy riding my bicycle in our neighborhood, which has many hilly streets. One day, I was at the highest point of the street, getting ready for a fast ride down. And suddenly, while I was at the middle of the hilly street, I noticed that my bicycle's break stopped working! I was so scared because at the end of the street, there is a busy intersection. During that quick moment, I only had two choices, either to through myself off the bicycle towards the pedestrian area, or to take a risk and continue riding down wishing the intersection would be free of cars. I decided to through myself off the bicycle, and I got several scratches and bruises over my arms and legs. The worst part of the incident, the intersection was free of cars!!!
