Dangerous streets
 

Hello Guys,

A few days ago a distracted driver decided to be in my lane of traffic. This has put fear into me, as we were going less than 20mph. This happened right next to a bike lane. All I keep thinking is this kid could have hit any of us on our bikes. You can see the bike lane in the picture.

You are parked in a bike lane. Bad Mike.

You want fear? How about what a Mercedes CLK 230 can do to you? KK_inj4.jpg

You're right. That was a second after it happened, I jumped out and took a picture of his tag and my damage. Then we moved into a center turn lane .

1-Adam-12, see the man, a 505A automobile accident. Victim is armed with a smartphone.

Are you okay? Banged up? How's your bike?

OH he hit your car while you were in the bike lane?

Were you "Bicycular Driving" your car in the bike lane?

Ouch. That's a pisser. New door time. But you're right. Could just have easily been you on a bike instead of your truck. Scary.

Welcome to my world. I like to think of that fear as a good thing.
Too much of it, and you will just stop riding on streets...:(

But just the right amount will provide the proper paranoia for survival.:D

That's my Red dodge truck, was in almost new condition. It's headed to the Body shop on Tuesday. Like I said, he could have easily hit any of us on our bikes. If he can't see a big red truck, what are the chances he would see anyone on a bike?

Depends. Would he be able to see a Big Red Dog?
