So today I got hit by a car. Well not hit hit, but my back tire got clipped while I was riding my bike to work. The car kept going too which made the situation even better. Bike still rides so thats good. I'm sore as crap though. Luckily it was really windy today so I wore my big coat and some gloves. Probably saved me from some nasty road rash. So still really sore. Going to take it easy the rest of today.

Worst part of all it was there was no one else around and there is no crosswalk signal at the light where it happened, just a crosswalk. I'm lucky though that it didn't hit me going that fast and that i was able to get up.

They kept driving? Sounds frustrating. Hopefully you were respecting the rules of the road though! One annoyance of mine is when bike-riders share the road, but not the rules, and basically zig-zag all over the road.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 03-16-2012, 01:17 PM

Yeah I use the sidewalk. I'm not a strong enough biker to be on the road. I was in the crosswalk crossing the street. Just use the bike to get from my apartment to train.

*BubblyShell22* · 03-16-2012, 01:21 PM

Whoa. That's scary, Hob. I'm glad you'll be okay. The person should've stopped to make sure you were okay. I would have.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 03-16-2012, 07:16 PM

Still sore, but that's to be expected. I've kind of just taken the day slow. I just keep thinking about it, playing it over and over. It could have been a lot worse. A lot. I'm really lucky.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 03-16-2012, 09:14 PM

Gees Hob! Glad you're doing ok to say the least

*BubblyShell22* · 03-17-2012, 09:11 AM

Well, glad to see everything's okay. I'd be replaying that, too and having nightmares about it as well.

I'm vacationing in Florida this week (too bad it's almost as warm back home!), and tomorrow I'm going with my grandparents to Epcot tomorrow. Cocoa Beach/Cape Canaveral, where I'm staying, is clearly the Michelangelo and Donatello of beaches. Cocoa Beach has that Ron Jon's Surf Shop plus a Pizza Hut, though the waves are a bit small. Last Friday we drove 900 miles in a single day, the most ever for me. And best of all, there are lots of turtles that are laying their eggs along the coast, that in Florida, buildings are not allowed to have bright lights facing the beach since it confuses the turtles and causes them to go too far.

Wow, so you see the world through Ninja Turtle glasses? Sounds awful.

Same problem...but it's 3:40 AM here. I nodded off a little after 12:30 after FINALLY finishing Dracula, and now I'm almost wide awake. It wouldn't be so bad if my wife and I didn't have an appointment to keep tomorrow morning. I'll lay on the couch, play the DVD I have in the player (Irving Berlin's Top Hat starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers) and hope that will help knock me out.
