Hey all,
Austin here, figured id post my latest experience.
While training on a solo ride I was struck by a car. The car was parked on the right and the bike lane was just to the left of it. Enough room between the two to clear a vehicle door opening. Well, the driver pulled out from the parking lane and into the bike lane without checking his mirror. Hit my right side sending me into the traffic lane to be hit once more by a braking vehicle. No major injuries, just some bruises and road rash, a shredded kit and down a bike. Glad I have two. The driver who hit me first apologized and I must be a sucker because she was cute and I ended up buying us coffee. I still don't know how that happened. I'll blame it on shock .
