Bikes & Cars

I got hit by a car riding my bicycle. I made fun of Kerry (a friend from Pratt) who got hit by a car because I thought it sounded unprobable. Nope…it happens.

Just riding my bike towards the loft on a average day. Nothing special about it until a girl decides to pull into a parking lot that I am about to pass as I am just casually biking (no stop sign violations or momentary laps of judgement around)…and WHAM! She pulls right in front of me. I grab on and feel my whole bike come rocketing back at me as I ram into the side of the lame boat she was driving. The seat left a wonderful bruise on the inside of my thigh and a pretty jammed finger.

Dang is that girl lucky I played rugby. She gets out…”oh my gosh I didnt see you”…blah blah a few more people run over…looking quite scared I may say. I assure them that I am ok…bruised…but ok. Once the crowd disperses she says “I’m so sorry I didn’t put my contacts in today…I didn’t think it was a big deal”.

Gee…thanks…now I have a broken front brake, a scuff all up my hand and a bruise the size of antartica and all because YOU didn’t feel like putting your contacts in.

Awesome.

Love this place…
