Run off the road

Wow - what a bad nightmare you just lived through! I'm very glad to hear that you're OK, even though a bit shook up.

That driver's license should be yanked - too bad no one saw the license plate.

Glad you're okay. Awfully nice of the lady behind to stop and check on you. Reminds you that there ARE good people in this world too.

Glad you're ok Trekhawk. Sounds like you have some awesome bike skills too to come out ok. That's vehicular assault in my book, attempted murder

Reminds me on my Sunday ride we were I think in Fremont crossing on an overpass and ... don't you just hate it you're straddleing the line as folks going to the right of you are going onto the fwy entrance and folks to the left of you are continuing on the road and this big black SUV sidles up next to you and yells in your ear "you should be in the bike lane!" and then continues on the fwy?

Hate when that happens.

Just had to hope "well, I hope he does not have murder in him" because I'm kinda stuck in traffic between lanes and if I fall or am pushed over now it's a bad thing and was not the time to lecture him on "you blithering illiterate moron you should know the CA vehicular code is that bikes are traffic and I pay hwy. taxes too and just where is this bike lane that you speak of of eloquently?? get your sedentary 711 slurpy big gulp drinking butt outa the SUV and show me...."

But it was so nice of that lady to stop and check on you! That gives me hope. There are nice drivers out there. Glad you're ok.

Thanks ladies - I dont think I have speedy reflexes or great bike handling skills I think my saviour was that Im pretty slow. For once being a slow poke rider worked in my favour. I think if I was a speed demon I would have left the road with too much speed for it to have ended with the same outcome.

Wow Leslie - that's so scary! I'll join the others in being grateful you managed to keep yourself in one piece, and also that someone stopped to check on you. You DO have good riding skills to get out of that situation without getting badly hurt. Take very good care out there!

B@$t@rd! I hope you unleashed come choice Aussie vernacular in his direction! Very nice of that lady to stop and check on you though.
