Like I tell the lifeguards I've been swimming in the great lakes since 1978 and only drown a few times.

Exactly - and that's how an oncoming cyclist north of Ohio St Beach slid trying to pass someone, and he slid, taking me down yesterday on my commute home.

He slid right in front of me and I went over the handlebars on top of his bike.

He apologized profusely.

I got up, moved my right brake lever back to its original position, ignored him, kept riding home.

Thanks Tom. No blood, just a bruised elbow and knee.
