Not on the bike, thank God, but I was walking home this morning and half a mile from my street I see an old VW bug down the road a ways make an illegal u-turn in front of a car. i shook my head and kept walking. The guy drove by me, flipped me off, started saying something, then kept driving. I gave him the finger back and wondered what the hell was up with the guy. I look back and see that he made another u-turn and is pacing me while driving in the suicide lane, flipping me off some more and telling me to mid my own effing business. He asked why I was shaking my head at him, I said it was because he made a sketchy turn. He yells something abut makiing another u-turn, then HE GUNS IT AND SWERVES INTO THE BIKE LANE WHERE i'M WALKING AND HIT ME!!!
There were a lot of witnesses, and it happened right in front of a school at 9am. People said they saw me fly higher then the VW, then land on the ground. A few people stopped and called 911 and went after the guy, who had driven another block up the road before realizing, presumably, that he was in deep trouble. I sat on the curb where i had been nailed and put my head between my knees to keep conscious. My nose was gushing blood, my left knee was rashed and hurt like hell, I was sore everywhere and I had a deep cut on my left upper lip, my head was bleeding from where it hit pavement, and I was super scared that I had lost teeth, of that my leg was broken.
Anyway, the ambulance took me to the hospital, where my mom was already. she had gone in earlier to have a doctor check on a nasty cough and a high fever. I told the nurses not to tell my mom that I was in the ER because I knew she would flip out and scream and cry and stuff. A friend of mine came and calmed me down and brought me tea and waited with my before the Sherrif who arrested the guy came to the hospital o return my driver's license and get my full statement.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I'm still super sore and pissed off. This just happend 6 hours ago and I'm calmer than before, but still fumed. Anyway, I took some pics for the records. I guess All The Gear All The Time means ALL THE TIME!!! around here.....







The guy has been arrested and booked wirh assault with a deadly weapon. Not charged with it yet though. I need to talk to the DA and a PI attorney soon. Thank God for kind citizens who stopped and called 911 and corroborated my account!!!
