Alright I got hit by another effing car last night. I was blasting down the road, harvard st. in brookline village, I was on my way home from dinner with my roomates and this truck coming the opposite direction turned left toward a side street (ie. no stop sign for me and i was in a bike lane) right infront of me I managed to dodge him but at the same time as he turned this guy in a dodge intrepid decided that it would be a good Idea to make a right from the side street onto harvard st. and slammed into the front wheel of my bike. I could see it coming but could do nothing about it even if I had brakes (it was pouring rain). I put myself into i'm going down position and put my shoulder forward, that slammed onto the hood and I kind of bounced off the hood and onto the ground. I got right up, punched the hood of the car, and started cursing both of the drivers out. Both of them got out seemingly worried about my condition, I gathered my wit and looked right for my bike (If you don't remember I got hit about 3-4 months ago and broke a beautiful frame because of it) as soon as I did that, the driver of the truck got back in and pulled away. But the dirver of the car stuck arround with me, I inspected my bike to find that the only thing wrong was the front rim was a little out of true +/-1cm. Then I realized that my leg had a huge gash in it and I was bleeding all over the place (I'm sure the few beers i had didn't help) then a guy in a wheel chair came up and said he had just called the cops, to which the guy with the car replied that he was sticking arround until I was alright. Then he told me that he dealt with this kind of stuff all of the time because he is an insurance agent. The paramedics showed up and I refused to be taken to the hospital so they had me sign a form saying that I had refused medical attention and then they washed out my leg. They left and I thanked the guy in the car for being so tolerant of my bad attitude and for making sure I was alright. He gave me some funny light up pen (don't know why) and we all went our seperate ways.

Today my leg feels fine. . . a little funny but fine. My ankle is a little swolen that's about it the cut looks like I could have used few stitches it's pretty deep but whatever i'll be fine and so will my bike. Now it's off to true my wheel. Been a good year hit by cars in nearly the same way twice in like 4 months.
