During my bike commute this past Thursday I had come to a stop at an intersection. I started to bike and I noticed to my right a car coming to a stop at his stop sign. Or I should say, I thought he was stopping. Before I knew it he is heading towards me and all I am thinking is he is going to run me over. I was able to brake and turn my wheel so I crashed into his car door. I fell and had some rode rash and re-injured my right hand wrist, but other than that I was (and am) fine. He stopped and asked if I was okay and he told me that he did not see me. I thought that was strange as their was another car next to him at the same stop sign who did not start
driving because he did see me. Fortunately, I was not going fast and neither was the driver or I would be writing this blog from a hospital bed.
Even with my sore wrist I managed to ride 96 miles today.
Harry, Tom and Peter left last Sunday on their ride from tip to tip in the UK. Apparently, a Dalton from Meade, Kansas have made their way to the UK.
I guess it's a good thing you don't have to pedal with your wrist...
ReplyDeleteOK, bad joke - Seriously, am very glad you were not more seriously injured - the world can be very unfriendly to cyclists. And I am assuming your pretty, new bike was not damaged either? I sure hope not
Yikes! Try to keep the rubber on the road!
ReplyDeleteAh, the old "I didn't see you excuse." Was he on his cell or texting? What a moron.
ReplyDeleteGlad you weren't injured more than you were.
Be careful out there. RSRO.
