Bike Whispers

I was cleaning up in the garage when I heard what sounded like someone clearing their throat.

Ahem.

I looked around but nobody was there. Thinking my mind was playing tricks on me I returned to pushing my broom.

Hey.

Startled, I stepped out front and looked around. None of the neighbors were out. I was alone on the driveway. I stepped back inside and grabbed the broom again, listening closely and ready to pounce as soon as I heard anything.

Pssst.

I whipped my head around to--nobody. It came from near the front of the garage. I walked to where the sunlight shone in the entrance.

Looka here.

I looked down. Oh crap!

I think my bike is trying to tell me something.

You've been doing too many skids trying to impress your friends.

My mom had a similarly weird "I hear something" experience one night. Her life was significantly shortened when my brother's bike tire blew, just as she got close to investigate.
