Ah, there's nothing like the first time... you get hit while commuting. Yep, happened today, only on day four of commuting to this new job (I've bike commuted before to other jobs). Thank goodness it was about as minor as it could be. An octogenarian came up from behind me and clipped my left bar end with her car's right side-view mirror. Thank goodness for collapseable mirrors. She wasn't even sure what happened. I yelled out loudly some obscenity, then calmed down and talked to her politely at the next red light. Poor old lady was a bit flustered. I told her what happened and fixed her mirror.
