Good weather, and I left a little earlier today so I got more daylight. I got clipped by a car in Rahway, a hit-and-run. An elderly gentleman in a boat of a car tried to pass me when I was signaling left and getting over to turn. I swear, this guy sped up to get around to my left.
The point of contact was his right rear quarter panel to the magnet on my front wheel (the one that keeps the bike closed when folded). No damage to me or my bike. I hope he has a nasty scratch on his car.
