Scary stuff!
One of our ride leaders for our cycling club hit a parked car the other week... because he had his head turned (I didn't see it, but that was the report).
Unfortunately, he was on his brand new carbon/titanium bike. It has been sent back to the shop to see if it can be fixed.
He's OK... no broken bones... just roughed up a bit.

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

I was going up what I thought was a driveway one day, and saw the curb about 5 sec before I was going to hit it. I wrenched the bike to the right and avoided it, but it was scary. I did not see the curb at all. It wasn't inattention, but angle of the light at the end of the day, as far as I can tell. Glad you pulled up just in time.
