I hit a woman, well more like her backpack, last night. Going south on Bay coming up to Elm, light had just gone green for us, I was in the curb lane with two full lanes of traffic (around 9pm) and I gun it, she appears around the corner of the lead minivan and I try and slow down, she pauses/stops briefly causing my right bar to hit her bag. She didn't go down and so I carried on after barely managing to hold onto the bike myself.

Feel bad about it, but at the same time she was the one who messed up, only I guess I should've been more cautious, and couldn't see her due to the higher vehicles in the front. Bah.

Didn't see any cops other than outside the Embassy/Court on University, tomorrow I doubt I will going up north.
