On my last day of commuting, Wednesday, I was making a turn at close to top speed and as I straightend back out from the turn "The Bus" bus pulled over accross 3 lanes of traffic and stopped 10' in front of me so I had to hop the curb and then ditch my ike into the ditch to avoid the bus and then the tourists waiting for the bus. I doing so I bent my front wheel and put a 4 inch by 3 inch bruise on my right knee, the one that already has soem good damage to it..........but I did make it up the hill with only one stop when my gear bounced off my rack, and If not for the wheel damage i would commuting more often.......More later when the bike is out of the shop.
