Again... I KNOW

So, last Thursday, 4/26, I'm heading out on a beautiful Thursday afternoon, like noonish, and I'm heading down University, not even a mile from my house, and guess what. I got hit by a car, AGAIN! I KNOW! It was another unlucky accident where it completely wasn't my fault.

So if you know University, going east down the hill, there are parking spots, perpendicular to the road, on the right. So I'm riding, and there's an open spot a little bit down the hill. There's a car, going the opposite way, up the hill. He sees the spot, and stops. "Perfect" I thought, so he was going to wait for me like he should, then turn into his parking spot.

Well there was no other traffic at all, so he totally saw me if he had his eyes open at all, and I'm just riding down the street, doin my thang, then he decides that if he turns really really fast that he can make it into his parking spot in front of me.... This wasn't the case.

Because he was stopped, I assumed that he was going to STAY stopped. But I'm still an attentive biker, so when I saw him turn, I started braking, turning, and screaming. Non of which helped me to not hit the car. I ended up hitting him on the back, side of the car (see pic below) I fucked it up. But sadly, he fucked me, and my bike up. (More pics below) I flew over the back of the car and landed on the ground. Fortunately there were a lot of people around and there were a lot of witnesses. I ended up just getting scraped and bruised (which still really hurts) and I broke my finger. My bike wasn't so lucky. It's completely totaled now. :( I think that is what made me the most upset (I guess besides the fact that I was hit again....)

Hopefully everything will get taken care of easily, quickly and efficiently. I'm sick of dealing with all this bullshit.

Pics are coming, have to upload them first!

yes, so there needs to be an intervention... like taking away all of Sarah's bikes?
