This PSA brought to you by several would-be assassins who tried to wave me in front of speeding cars in the last month and who will have to try harder next time.

    This is how I got hit on my bike, except I wasn’t waved at. I was in the bike lane and a truck ahead of me waved to a car to drive across. I would be close to were the car going 45mph is in the picture. Car pulled across and by the time i could see the car it was too late. I mashed into the side of the car right as it was crossing the bikelane and was bounced backwards by the force, smacking hard backwards onto the asphalt.

    Safe biking out there.

      Don’t ride in bike lanes. They’re usually death traps. Ride in the road where you can be seen. Follow the rules of the rode like any other vehicles
