Had an interaction with a complete dumbass in a car today. I was commuting home and someone in a turn lane going left, decided that she was going to turn to the right across the straight lane because of the significant traffic in the area. I was in the straight lane taking the whole lane during her abrupt maneuver and my 2011 Raleigh One-way took the brunt of it, I rolled up and hitting pretty hard on my right side. I'm good besides bumps and bruises. Lots of people tried to help, but I really was and am alright, so I appreciate that.


This idiot decides she can make it all ok with "a drink" which she will buy me at a bar around the corner. She really wants me to ride with her somewhere, which I decline over and over. My wife is less sophisticated and VERY protective (and also a personal trainer) of me so I pick up my damaged bike and walk a half mile down to the bike shop to avoid the confrontation.


Anyway, front wheel will need a rebuild as will a lot of the fenders but could be worse. All I need is Tylenol and beer.
