Jeez. Got hit by a car today while on my bike. I’m ok. Didn’t find any broken bones after a trip to the emergency room. Was riding to work wearing my helmet, not two blocks from my house, when a girl backs out of a diagonal parking spot right into me. Not sure whose fault it is, despite her not looking back thoroughly enough to see me (there were no parked cars next to her to obscure her vision of me). I don’t even know how one would partition blame in as bike-hostile a city as Baltimore. It was fucking scary. Flipped completely around on my side, was in a state of shock before the pain set in. The heaviest thing about the whole ordeal was the act of calling my mom to break the news to her. I know how much she hates me on one of those things. But she took it really well. I’m lucky have only some lumps and bruises. Posted up on the couch. Gonna watch the World Cup and relax. Fucking hump day. kleinbl00 You recently completed your 8,001st mile by bike, not to mention motorcycle. How do you think about accidents?
