My bicycle got hit by a cab while I was walking it on a crosswalk in mid-town Manhattan in the early 80s. The cab was making a right turn on a green light and didn't want to wait for the pedestrians, so he was pushing his way through. I couldn't move out of his way fast enough because it was crowded. My bike's rear wheel got stuck under the bumper of the cab, and he would have probably destroyed my rear wheel if the other pedestrians didn't pound their hands on the cab's hood and tell him to back up. No damage done, other than some minor scuffs on the bike.
