The wife and I drove 2 hours to Portland today, so she could find costumes for "Hair Spray", and I could ride about in PDX. We parted ways at 11:30, I wandered about, visited Velo Cult, and was on my way. In a nice neighborhood round about, I'm riding in a crosswalk, a car stops, starts rolling and BUMPS me. I'm unhurt (never even knocked off the bike) we talk a bit she goes on her way, me on mine. I notice I have a new squeek from the rear of bike, the wheel is bent. Ride to nearby bike shop, mechanic and I are talking about bent rim/true it up a bit etc, my cell phone rings, it's the wife, her van window got broke and stuff gone thru. It happened at the same time I got bumped.... call the police, not serious enough to respond to( it happens all the time ) Plastic bag the window frame and drive 2 hours home.... I did get to ride 4 miles tho.... So average speed is 1 mile per hour I guess. Tim
