At one portion, the wind was with me and I was moving ~27 mph. A car was slowly overtaking me on the left and tried to turn into a lot, right through me... I slammed on the brakes and ended hitting his side going almost parallel to the car at 5-7 mph. I'm fine; his car has a scratch from my panier. The kid claimed he didn't see me. Besides that minor accident, the ride was great.
