| Description: | 2 weeks before weeklong AIDS LifeCycle charity ride, on last long training ride of the event, 20 miles from end of ride. BLAM! T-boned practically out of nowhere from a woman on a steel cruiser bike that didn't stop or check left or right out of a hidden driveway behind fence/hedges. "the perp" was rushing off to 5pm work shift from a friend's pool party. possible she had smoked out a bit before? how can i blame her for that on a perfect hot weekend day in marin? but i *can* blame her for being reckless with a moving vehicle. still, she was horrified and utterly sorry for it, tried her best to help, offered to pay for a wheel, and gave me her card. she got the smallest scrape on a knee and was mostly shaking and shaken up. we'll prolly not worry about the wheel (we have an exact copy from hunter's bike that he upgraded away from) and be karmic thankful things didn't get worse for either of us. as hunter points out, what if she had been a car? or if i had been a car? or if i had fallen into traffic or not fallen as "well" as i did. thanking that my head was unscathed and that my brain is still intact! |
