I feel like something needs to be said here because man alive some bicycle related stuff gets on my nerves sometimes. So today I was riding my bike home after school (I had a bad feeling about it, didn't want to do it that morning either way), and after a while I could feel some sort of really hard object in my helmet digging into my skull, so I took one hand off the handlebars so I could adjust my helmet to see if it was some sort of pebble or maybe a clip that got jammed up in there.
During this, I'm really not sure what the forget happened, I might have drifted slightly to the right or something, but some starfish is suddenly
right next to me on his bike, slams into my handlebar, causing my bike to jerk left and throw me off completely. After breaking my fall with my arm on the rough concrete surface, he proceeds to mash my hand under both his wheels and his body which could have easily added up to 250 pounds, before riding off into the loving sunset without so much as a sorry. Didn't ring his bell, didn't shout out or anything, just simply slammed into me while halfway down a straight sidewalk with a good 5ft of space on either side. I think you'd would've had to
try to hit me.
As far as injuries go, there were none, had some stuffty scraping on my hands and arms that bled for a bit but don't really hurt much. Arms a little stiff. Could've been much worse if I wasn't wearing a heavy ass school blazer (i should check for rips actually). The thing that is hurting the most right now is my pride because I wiped the forget out in-front of an entire school of my classmates. Now my handlebars are skew and my chain sounds rattled or something but nothing major. At this point I'm just pretty pissed that the dude has the audacity to literally just ride away and pretend like nothing happened.
Discuss bikes and bike accidents. I have
this bike that I picked up at the mall a few months ago after I moved. Pretty damn decent bike trails in Australia.
EDIT:use ur forgetin bell pls
