Wow! glad you're ok! I've been hit before- it sucks because they have all the power- if they don't see you and keep going you're kinda fucked. Mine involved some ass making a right turn so he was looking left and hit me and pinned my leg against my frame- luckily I yelled out and he turned and saw me and stopped- if he had just gunned it and went I mighta been screwed.
Well get back on that "horse" soon!

So, if the driver hadn't stopped it would have crushed your leg??
That's pretty crazy. Good thing you are so loud.
Speaking of loud, Mike and Paddy play their music until at least 5:30am. Last night was bad, cause I was up half dreaming about bike crashes. So, today I asked them if they really needed to play music between 4 and 5:30- since I usually wake up at 4 or so automatically, and it is really hard to get back to sleep when their bass is pumping? Mike said they definitely had to play music then, cause that's the rockin hour. Never knew.

yeah- it is a fuzzy memory- (it happened in the mid 90's so maybe I was listening to some screaming trees or something)- anyways I think I kind of jumped from my bike in time because I could feel the bumper squeeze my leg into my frame and that is still the only real vivid thing I remember- it kind of freaked me out, which is, I think, why I can still remember that part so well. So I just ripped my leg out of there real quickly and kind of jump/fell into the street. My front wheel was messed up. He paid for a new one. Did the car that hit you stop?!

perhaps this biking pleasantness will soothe those bad dreams...

It's been really quiet down there since I told him.
But your right, it was pretty classic; he even told me I should stop playing my music so loud during the day, which instead of making me mad made me laugh a lot.
