Never got hit yet. Came awfully close.

However, I know the feeling of what it is like being on the other side. 25 years ago before I even know how to ride a bike, I was driving and looking for a spot. A cyclist was on the sidewalk. I found a spot that was one of those perpendicular type space. I swing right to go into the space and a bicyclist came flying over my hood. Rolled three or four times on the ground.

Apparently he went from the sidewalk onto the street on my rightside and passed me on my right as I was turning into the parking space.

That image still pops up in my head every now and then with feeling of sorrow for the guy although he was ok.
