Had a guy reverse over my front wheel in traffic, bending the front fork on my 1973 Raleigh.

Flipped over the back, feet on the handlbars, and stuck a hammer between the arms of the fork, and twisted it to fix it. Once or twice doing this, I could ride freehanded again. You'll know which way the fork is bent from the direction you start to fall when you take your hands off the bike.
