Just got back from the hospital. Banged up pretty good but no broken bones. Car hit me at 45 mph. Took out my $3,500 Trek. Paramedics say I'm lucky to survive. The best part: the woman admitted that she has hit another person in the past! My lawyer is going to love this one! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif)

Here's hoping you heal quickly!
I bike to work every day, and my Trek is only worth about $800, but I know the feeling of being either not seen or actively attacked by people in cars who are either unobservant or have a bad attitude. Last week some idiots in an SUV threw a ballon full of something warm at me on my way home, hit me in the elbow. Thankfully it wasn't blood or semen, but I really can't rule out urine (ick). I'm sure the same applies in the 914s you guys drive. (Wish I could afford one, but hey, at least I get to hang out here and look at pics of you guys fixing yours up!) |
