I thought the same thing some years back; bike was snatched out from
under me by car driver that DIDN'T SEE ME. I felt a tiny twitch as the
handlebars jerked out of my hands (and a mild breeze on my butt where
it didn't belong), air-pedaled until I noticed a definite lack of
pedal resistance, looked down and (you know how you can feel a
sentence trying to form in your mind- you haven't even picked out the
words yet but you know exactly what you want to say?) was all ready to
say "Where the fuck is my BIKE!?!?" when I decided that since there
was nothing holding me up as I glided smoothly above the road at
around 15 mph, it was a better use of my time to curl into a ball and
roll instead of going SPLAT onto the blacktop. I hit what I thought
was agonizingly hard and completed a roll, then stood up and looked
behind me wondering if I was adrenaline-pumped enough to jump over the
car that was about to run me down.
Instead I saw a stopped car with my bike wadded up under the front
bumper, and a young man and woman with identical pop-eyes.
So, in a demonstration of my lightning reflexes and wit, I ran to
the driver's door, looked at the driver and said "Are you all right?"
She said, in a small voice, "I peed my pants."
They took me to their home, bandaged a couple small scrapes, unbent
my rear wheel (total of damage) and got me high, then drove me home.
Amazing how nice some folks can be when they realize they haven't
actually accidentally killed you.
No bruises later; I was slightly disappointed I had nothing to show
for the experience.
OK, now YOUR details.

Sheesh, you don't even know how to have a proper bicycle accident. It
aint shit if it doesn't lay you up for a few months and require major
reconstructive surgery.
But that's a good thing to suck at. Glad you're okay.

My most memorable bike wreck,(unmotorized), was the
one in Ft. Lauderdale where this old lady was very annoyed
that I kept passing her in traffic. She would race ahead
when the light changed, and I would go faster and overtake
her. When the light turned red, she'd have to stop, and
I'd zip past and get ahead again.
This went on for miles until she suddenly zoomed past,
hit the brakes and made a right-hand turn into my path.
I was going about 30 miles/hr. and slammed directly
into the passenger's side door of her car. She came to
a complete stop.
Only slightly shaken, I never fell completely off my bike
as I put a giant dent in her door. Momentarily I glared
thru the window at her, and then continued speeding
away, as did she, in a different direction.
Bitch.

Perhaps she was so pissed off not so much because you kept passing her as
because you kept running red lights, and the dead-stop collision was her
way of trying to save you from being plowed into from the side.

Apparently Mark knows as much about vehicular law as he does about
pseudohermaphroditism. Which doesn't make him unusual, of course; about
98% of the bicyclists around here ignore the rules of the road, too, and
yet only a few of them get killed per year. Pity.

You could at least have flipped her off, and spat on her window for
gwad's sake! Or at the very least stuck out your tongue at her and
wailed "NEENERNEENER!"
Great story, but unless you were REALLY LUCKY, I think you misstated
your speed. If you had broadsided a car at 30mph, neither your bike
nor you would have sped away from such an accident. But then I
suppose it depends on your definition of "sped."
Or maybe the car was a Trabi.

Bicyclists shouldn't be expected to follow the same rules as cars when
it's clearly inappropriate, but I do disapprove of the people who blow
through stop signs and try to run pedestrians (e.g. me) over. I can't
help wondering if the jerks who do things like that are the same who
spend their free time on the Internet complaining about how people in
cars bully them.
In Schenectady, the bicyclists trace out random french curves and
partial figure-eights in the street, both with and against traffic.
Often with a passenger on the handlebars.
It is a little known fact that just because you have the right of way,
you aren't allowed to run someone over on purpose.

Precisely Watson. We know the rules and
find them to be very inconvenient. At least I
go *with* traffic, not like amateurs who ride
on the shoulder into traffic. They usually don't
reproduce. Also, I never said the absence of
a Vulva was proof of manhood, I merely said
it was one indicator.

Oh, sorry, I momentarily forgot our so-called "laws" are merely
suggestions that can be disregarded when inconvenient. It's not like
there's any reason why bicyclists, or motorists, or anyone else should
signal, stop at stop signs, obey speed limits, stay in their lane, or
any of that crap, right? It's like those laws against murder; I mean,
sure, when it's convenient not to kill someone, I don't.

So many years ago that I might well have been still a teenager, I rode
my bike home one-handed from the mall, the other hand keeping safe my
newly-purchased actual-vacuum silvered-glass Thermos(tm) bottle that I
Obviously Really Needed. Since, you know, it keeps hot things hot and
cold things cold.
Going a bit too fast down a bit too steep a hill I figured "safety
first(tm)" and applied the brake. Alas, it was a *front* brake, and
over the handelbars I went, singing, IIRC, something about sheep,
albeit rather off-key.
Did I mention the hill was steep?
I did a nice roll and tuck and impacted the ground with my shoulder.
Alas again, I did not continue to roll: I slid. Tragic insufficiency
of angular momentum, I suppose, though you'd think the friction (which
was non-trivial in magnitude) would have taken care of things. Perhaps
it was a problem with the vector-force diagram. Have I mentioned how
steep the hill was? It was quite steep. Yes, indeed.
When all was said and done, I had a nice, if dented, metal cylinder
full of tiny SHINY!(tm) glass fragments, and a shoulder full of tiny
stones and bits of asphalt that continued to emerge for years
thereafter.
WIN!

Careful. That last one might indicate boneage breakage, or at least crackage.
And it may not be the obvious one either. Get thee to a doctory!
