That's two this year

Much to my embarrassment I was involved in another bike accident last week. I was making a left turn with a car in front and a car behind me. I didn't think of looking to my right as I was the fourth in line for the advanced green and all traffic had stopped at the red. I should have looked because a fellow cyclist went right through the lights and into my leg with his front tire.

It all happened pretty fast and all the traffic stopped. I was on my feet pretty fast and when I realized what happened started to get really mad. The guy that hit me kept saying how he needed to go and do something. Police and ambulance showed and after questions and statements from witnesses the other rider was at fault for going through a red light.

After speaking with the police they informed me that the man who hit me had some mental challenges. They got in touch with his counsellor and we all agreed that having him charged wouldn't help anyone. I just hope his counsellor helps him understand that going through a red light regardless how late you might be is the wrong thing to do.

My leg is a terrific colour of yellow and purple but for the most part alright. I was riding the hybrid so it took the crash with grace and sustained no damage. The one thing I realized once home that was missing was my sunglasses. In the grand scheme of things that's not too bad. I have now ordered some new one's from Oakley and they are on the way.
