I'm sorry for being an idiot while riding my bike while covering an event today on the riverfront.

I was trying to catch up to the group I was covering when I noticed I wasn't on the bike trail. I didn't know where to cross (have never rode my bike downtown before) and saw a patch of grass with an opening in it to cross in a crowd of geese. I avoided the geese while crossing and holding the brakes while saying sorry over and over. I remember seeing your face in disgust.

I remember thinking I was an idiot afterwards and wondering why I did that. I later found out I could have crossed ten seconds up the path.

You have every right to talk negatively about me. I could have hurt a goose. I should have gotten off the bike when crossing at the very least. I should have said sorry too when you passed by, but I didn't have the courage to do so.
