other than feeling really stupid, and a banged up knee think i'm ok: i had been moving slowly this morning, and was running late, so i thought it would be a good idea to race across an intersection while traffic was stopped waiting for a train crossing. i even blared my new air horn, just in case, but somehow a car made it through just in time for me to t-bone it. i managed to brake enough to cut my velocity, so i didn't flip. he was really shocked, and concerned for me, but it was my fault and i told him so.

today's lesson boys and girls is... keep the rubber side DOWN.

thank goodness i work somewhere with a nurse, a counsellor who does auricular accupunture (and then drives your sorry ass home), a manager who allows you time off without a guilt trip, and clients that rage about what a bum rap cyclists get!

"never do anything you wouldn't want to explain to the paramedics" ... i need to listen to my own advice.
