A true story from a "friend"— "I got hit this evening on S. Park street.
I was enjoying my studded tires, passing cars, in the bike lane (minus the times the cars were standing still in the bike lane, when I took the sidewalk around them), and passed a shiny SUV that was waiting to turn onto Park (by Famous Dave's). He rolled down his window and yelled something at me that I didn't quite catch, so I stopped in front of him, biked over to his window and asked him to clarify. He must not have seen my blinking helmet, bike, and neon yellow jacket peering into his window because he rolled it up and side-swiped the front of my bike with his SUV. There was a terrible screeching sound, and I feared for my studded tires (spoiler: they're okay) as he scraped his SUV along my bike and drove off. I didn't get his plate number, but just to warn ya'll, there's an SUV out there with a smug jerk driving it who doesn't know better than to scrape his paint against studded tires. Look out for him!" _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
