    “His attempt to rescue himself using a ladder constructed from Baguettes sadly failed. Thankfully, rescuers were able to locate him after a passerby noticed a thin trail of cigarette smoke rising from the ravine.”

    Truly glad he got rescued, fuckin’ hell I hope it was at least a decent bottle and that there’s no lasting injuries.

    77-yo, rolled 130’ downhill, survived with what he had on him. I feel like most y’all would simply die.

      I mean, yeah, but he’s probably healthier than me. Even after the tumble.

      Of course, this is a standard accessory on any French bicycle.

              His bike wine carrier was probably already full so he had no choice.

    Could have lasted a week if he had a baguette and some cheese. Lesson learned.

      All we know is he made it to the bottom with three days worth of wine. Statistically , he likely started that fall with more than three days of wine.

    Christ, what a walking (cycling) stereotype.

    I guess if he got hungry he could have started on the string of garlic he was wearing around his neck.

      The baguette cushioned his fall, and he only had passionate sex 6 times.
