Hit by car...yah i got smoked by a lady this morning on my way to the Parc after an interval session on the Computrainer. I have taken the liberty to reinact what my face looked like when I heard her slam! on the breaks and almost take my life.
She tried to pass me on the inside(what was she thinking) I heard the car coming so I moved back towards the right side of the road. I don't know what the hell she was thinking. She was nice enough to give me a ride home. I didn't even yell at her. But we were in her car and she starts telling me her chest hurts, I had told her that I was a Nurse, she asked me what was wrong. I said "guilt"...I usually don't swear...but seriously this was a close call, even for me. I took some pictures of her car, to give you a play by play. I could also show you the power file..moderate power then all of a sudden...no power , no speed, no nothing. Holy shit.
Anyways I had to go to the Cyclery and make like 1000$ worth of repairs, so we will be leaving for Niagara Classic tomorrow...my but hurts, it's going to be a painful drive. Oh well, that's just the way it goes. The most ironic part is that i was actually being more careful today and had taken appropriate bike lanes, waited for traffic lights, come to a complete stop at stop signs.

Dude! It's most likely not your fault!!!
As cyclists we blame ourselves for some damn idiotic reason.
I learnt that the hard way when I first got hit in the gats some 8 years back (some young punk pulled a U turn into me! An illegal one!)
People are just stupid.
I surely hope. Damn, I hope you got money out of her!!!!
The both times I got hit I took the people shopping. Shopping for close to 800 bucks worth of stuff!
But, my bike snapped about a month after one accident. I never got money for it for it was too late.
Make sure you get all the dough!
There are a lot of idiot drivers out there!
And, it isn't getting any better as the roads get more and more congested with the lazi-mobiles.
