I just now tried drawing a fantastic faceplant that followed t-boning another bike on the lake path in Chicago. I am sad to report that the results are dismal. Imagine this, though, in leiu of a photo or drawing. I was going out around a contractor's truck parked on the right side of the path. Everything looked clear, until a guy I'm guesing about 16 y/o comes out from behind the truck, turning to go the opposite way I was going. There was really only enough time for both of us to say a foul word of our choice before I hit him perpendicularly, my front end versus his. I catapulted over my bars, managed to roll like they taught you in gym class, and wound up practically standing. Initially, anyway, as I was soon back on my knees trying to reinflate my lungs. My bike was perfect. His front wheel was totaled. MInimal bloodshed on both sides. Oh what I'd give for a video clip of this...
