It was a rainy day for my bike home. Hit the road with the most trafic, enjoying my ride and feeling good about riding in the rain and tuffing it out. All the sudden, a car cuts all the way across both sections of the main drag to get to my side. I was going at a good clip when I noticed I would be having a passenger side door in my face if I didnt react fast. Did a slide my right side, went under the cars front end. Perfect slide, not a scratch. Just a lot of scuffing on my road shoe and clippless pedal - the driver attempted to take off, going over the back end of my rear tire and rim. I yelled for the idiot to stop - as if his not paying attention was not enough, he couldnt have cared less about what just happened. Got up, checked my bike and I was off. Funny, I was still feeling good about the ride, eyes wide open!
