you can't see through a bus and know what is on the other side.a fucking cab was illegally<br />
parked. I was on a fixie with a break on the front wheel. My reaction<br />
to everything caused me to resist the wheel with my feet and push the<br />
brake lever,literally jackknifing my bike and falling off of it....if that would have<br />
happened in the middle of the street ,I would have been dead..period.<br />

A few years ago I was run over by a car. Mid '70's Ford LTD - 4,800 lb monster. Hit and run, never caught.<br/>
<br/>
I was thrown into the air, landed on the hood, guy hit the brakes and stopped hard to throw me in front of the car. After a few seconds he floored it, dragged me for about 50 feet (while I was holding the front corner of the car) until my pant leg got caught by the left front wheel, and I was dragged under. Front wheel got the pelvis, left ribs and left arm, rear wheel got left foot, ankle and knee. I came away with only broken ribs, a cracked sternum, bruised organs, leaky lymph system, and many scrapes and bruises.<br/>
<br/>
After eight days in the Cedars Sinai trauma unit, and three days rest at home I was back on the bike, very much against doctors' orders.</div>

Sh*t, going down on a bridge is pretty much my worse fear while riding/commuting in Chicago in the rain. I've had my road bike with 700 x 28 tires go squirrelly on me more than a few time while crossing the metal bridges on Kinzie and Randolph when wet. I'll probably have nightmares now based on that pic. Rest up, and good luck with the healing.
