The best $40 I ever spent

I was 1 block into my daily commute when an impatient driver ran a stop sign and t-boned my bike. My bike went flying one way and I onto the hood of the SUV. He slammed on his brakes and I fell off the front of the car and landed flat on my back and smashed my head against the pavement. I escaped with a bruised leg and a sore neck (my trusty '84 Nishiki fared much worse ). It could have been much, much worse had I not been wearing my brain bucket. If you don't have a helmet, GET ONE!! If you have one, WEAR IT!!

I drove by a simlar accident involving a pedestrian just minutes after it happened. Grandma was on the ground shaking, with blood pouring out of her ear. The car owner was crying and crying, and crying. bk


BTW, Welcome Back.
