I think I pulled a HereNT last night.

I went out for a beer run at 10:00. A Young woman dressed all in black walked into the road from behind a parked pickup truck and froze when she saw me. I had two choices. Run her over or swerve into a parked truck. Unfortunately my instinct chose the truck. My ride will survive, but my back is sore today. If I had chosen her, the impact would have been softer for me. Live and learn.

Bikes: I built the Bianchi track bike back up today.

See, I would have swerved to the left and avoided both...

I thought you were infamous for riding into parked vehicles for no aparant reason. Sorry if I misunderstood.

Usually there is a reason, and an empty Jameson bottle most likely is the culprit.

You know, the only parked car I've hit was because of the afterhours party at the september CM...

Only a little twitchy...
