And the final score - Car: 1, Me/Bike: 0.
Had my first major biking accident today. I hit a car on my bike. Totally my fault…I wasn’t paying attention and was looking to the right for the van that was going to turn left on the street I was crossing and completely didn’t see the car on my left that was coming at me until I heard their tires squeal and felt the thud of me on the hood.
Thankfully I appear the only injured party. My bike, from what I can tell, made it out with no problems, but the bike shop here will have to tell me the final word Monday. The car and its passengers were fine too, thankfully.
Me, I think I will be ok…a little road rash and some deep bruising. Starting to get sore, but it could have been a lot worse. Mostly I am trying to calm down…can’t stop shaking and am still pretty freaked out.
Stupid really. Moral of the story…pay attention to your surroundings!
