It was a right turning lane situation. There was construction at the beginning of the turning lane. As I was going around the concrete barrier, a car darted into the turning lane. I tried to slow and go on his left, but couldn't pull it off and went over the top of the car.
It's a move I've made a thousand times on a traditional bike, but I hadn't adapted to a fixed gear yet and I didn't make the proper reaction.
I messed the guy's car up pretty bad. Luckily the guy has a $300 deductible instead of a $500, so it's a little cheaper for me.
