no way. i remember the time i was riding in a lane and a bus driver proceeded to look in his mirror, right at me, and just kept going, right into my path, nearly going over me. i swerved--i was lucky there was an empty lane, but unlucky that there was a cop nearby who pulled over the bus driver and i, and proceeded to lecture me about how i shouldn't have yelled at the bus as it cut me off. **** the bus driver and **** the pigs. get hit on a bike in ohio, get a ticket and/or lecture. i don't call the cops, ever.
man, i'm a bit prone to ranting this morning.
