i realize this may be considered spam but i think its a fiarly interesting story, and you may enjoy it.
Well, i was riding my bike to a CD store about 3 miles from my house to buy a seven dust CD, when i cam upon an entrance/exit to a stip mall. As i apporoached, i saw a woman waiting to pull out, and i am thinking, "i am very close and i have the right of way, so i will go ahead and go in front of her." And of coarse she pulls out and hits me while i am going by and my bike is destroyed, but i am not hurt badly. After refuseing her offer to give me a ride home, i decide that i must get the CD i wanted and i continue on but now i am carrying my 30 lbs. bike. Less than 100 yards away, there is a very busy intercestion where two 6 lane roads meet, and as i approach it i press the walk signal button. The signal changes to "walk" and so i do just that, i begin to walk. About that time someone pulls up in the right turn lane and without looking deaccelerates and then before stoping all the way they hit me as well. I stand up laughing, while they are freaked out, but i tell them i am ok and i refuse their offer to take me home. I finally get to the store and i come to find out that the store does not have any CD's by the artist i wanted. So now i have to walk 3 miles home carrying a 30 lbs. bike. The trip home took me 1 hour and 30 minutes, but it was ok because i came inside to find 4 philly cheese steaks waiting for me, and a gullible mother who believed me when i told her i ran into a tree .
