collision
i rear-ended a car today. yeah sure, so what? i was on my bicycle. clueless asian lady wanted to turn right. so she pulled in front of me. and stopped. probably cause she belatedly realized there was a guy on a bicycle there and she had lost track of me in her blind spot. she didn't leave enough room for me to stop. like two bike lengths. it would have been fine if she just turned. but she didn't she stopped. and i couldn't go around her to the left because traffic. so i collided with her rear bumper hard enough to knock the chain off my front derailleur. she knew she had been hit. usually, i'm pretty quick to yell at stupid drivers. but i didn't this time. no idea why not. sigh. i'm gonna get a vest with big orange letters ARMED! with a picture of a gun. see if that gets me some safety space.
