Rear Ended at speed today.

Add me to the list of those that have been hit. Hit and run actually. I was tooling along in the right lane at about 20mph and next thing I know-BAM- and I'm sliding along in the left lane. This is a 6 lane city street. I had a PBW flasher going on the rear but I should have had a mirror. Bike took the brunt of the impact, wheel taco'd and rear triangle tweaked. I got road rash and bruises. Helmet has a nice dent but did it's job.

Think I'm going to just drive in to work tomorrow, get a mirror and safety vest this weekend, then back on the bike Monday.

Really pisses me off. I had just got that 3 speed together and was enjoying the heck out of it.

EMSA was pretty lackadaisical about the whole deal, and one of the cops was a bit of a dick, making smarmy comments which amounted to I'm an idiot for being in the street on my bike.

Oh well, I love my rides.

edit: added photo of the aftermath.
