Smashing through

I was standing on the corner when I heard a thud.

A bike rider had just kicked a giant safety cone so he could get through.

The lane had been blocked off from cars entering. A big sign said ‘detour’.

But he was on a bike and had just climbed a giant hill from the other side.

He smiled at me guiltily.

“Sometimes you just need to smash through”, he said.
