that sucks, I saw a bike t-bone a car. I was riding a with 3 other guys in a pretty quick paceline on sheridan rd. We passed another rider and then turned into the side street behind plaza del lago, where a car was waiting to pull out onto sheridan. It must have looked like the rider we passed was on the end of our line, so the car pulled out as we turned. But the other guy went straight.<br />

May be better to test it in one of the group discussions than on the main forum.<br/>

I've been hit by a car zero times, hit a car once. I basically broadsided a car that stopped for no reason halfway through a side street intersection; I was sort of predicting the car's trajectory and speed and didn't count on it stopping. The folks in the car just gave me a blank, stoned stare.</div>

I got hit in fifth grade while en route to score an X-Men graphic novel by a LEGALLY BLIND MAN.<br />
<br />
My bike was totaled, but I was okay, and I was able to score a Fuji (my first "grown-up" bike) with the insurance settlement. I was in heaven!<br />
<br />
And that X-Men comic kicked major ass.<br />
<br />
P.S. I'm glad to hear everyone's doing well after all these automotive altercations!

A couple summers ago when I still rode my alley route to work, I fell over into an SUV that was coming out of a garage.<br />
<br />
I was trying to go around some speed bumps (those damn plastic ones bolted down) and toppled over.<br />
<br />
The funny part is that I fell in such a way that I couldn't get my foot out of my toe clips, so the guy driving the SUV had to get out of his vehicle and pull my foot free.<br />
<br />
Moral of the story: RUN CLIPLESS! (no really, don't try to go around damn plastic speed bumps)

The back window broke out when I slamed the car. This was at 3:00 a.m. The owner of the car just laughed and thought it was funny. The insurance company paid for the window. I was black and blue all over for two weeks. As for hitting side mirrors, I have had this happen on several occasions. I have never had the fortune of hitting the kind that bounce back. I was in downtown Chicago and I nailed a parked car couple years back. No driver was around, so I left them my name and phone number. The street was tight and I had a box truck trying to pass me. I went over too far and snap went her mirror. I did not fall down at least. Nice to see that your all right Jim B. Any damage to your bike? Snow on top of ice makes for a hell of a surprise! Glad the motorist was nice about it. Keep on riding!</div>

That's wonderful. I was almost doored over the summer and told the guy to watch it. he then said, I'm sorry in a very civil manner.<br />
<br />
It was great to have some respect for once.
