ON MY BIKE!!!
It was TOTALLY MY fault & I'm totally FINE---THANK HOLY GOD!!!
I had a misjudgment & thought the cross walk was *flashing* the red hand---so I figured on my BIKE, I could make it across in time....except it was NOT flashing & the traffic light, for the left hand turn lane was all ready GREEN!!!
SO as I'm riding across the intersection, the car in the left hand turn lane---which is on my LEFT side--(so I'm going north & they are on my west side, heading east--if that matters to anyone) starts rolling out & I'm thinking they are going to see me & STOP because I CAN'T stop--it's all happening in milliseconds--right!?!?!?
And I think I forgot how to stop in that moment anyway....so I can't stop & she rightfully does NOT see me, of course--why would she be looking? SO I suddenly try to turn *right* thinking I can go around her because she is GOING TO SEE ME--but she still does not--so she hits me & I'm wondering if I'm going to fly over the car, fall on the ground &she will run me over or WHAT?
But she barely hits me--I think--& I just kinda tilt over just enough that I *think* I have to put my right foot down but was FINE! My pedal on the left is broken but I just made it past her, hollered that I was OK & SO SORRY! & then rode away. See looked totally STUNNED!!! I'm sure she was scared.
I was SO EMBARRASSED--there were SO MANY cars!!!
I felt SO DUMB!!!!
I've been hit the same way in college--except I was on a sidewalk & the car came out of a driveway--so it wasn't lack of judgment that time--but same side & direction--so I know how dangerous it really is...cars are HEAVY & will crush human bodies!!! (I had very minor injuries that time too)
I could feel myself clench up & screamed a little as she hit me...so my body feels a *little* tweaked right now but really I'm FINE.
But OH My WORD!!!!
And don't worry--I NEVER ride Kurtis in the street in my basket & def NOT on MAIN streets...I only take him around the interior of my neighborhood---in case anyone was thinking that---cause I knew my DH would say that, first thing.
