Hit and Run

On my way to run a few errands today I was cut off by a car I ran into the passenger car door and the back wheel ran over my fork and front wheel. The car sat for a second to make sure i could stand and then drove off when he realized that i wasn't dead. broad daylight on Milwaukee and Kenzie and I guess no one saw it. 300 dollars worth of damage done to my bike. This was my first hit not pissed off and wanna go fight cars or anything just wanted everyone to know to be safe winter is coming and for us year round riders shit gets dangerous.

Ride safe,

Aaron
