vik_thorCar vs Bike, car wins, obviously.
Yep, I had my first close encounter with a car while riding my bike home today. luckily, I escaped pretty much unscathed (unlike Monte, our former roommate!)
Total damages:
scraped cheek, scraped left knee (right knee a bit sore also), and my left big toe is sore.
scratched the left lens of my glasses, and messed up the left leg of them.
Bike: front wheel is now shaped pretty much like a Pringle, the right brake grip/handle has the end broken off it, and the rear wheel is a little warped.
Riding on the sidewalk, against flow of traffic. I had the walk signal, and just as I got in front of her right corner, she pulled out a bit, right into me.
I've got her name and phone number, and she has said she will pay for new wheel.
