Oh the nerve of some people!!!! I received this through a myspace bulletin from one of my local friends. He owns a shop out on Murphy Hwy. I cant believe this happened and I hope the police are able to find the person responsible.
(quote) Date: Mar 27, 2008 11:17 PM Subject: Got hit by a car on my bike, I'm OK Body: I got my left hand tagged by a passenger side mirror right in front of the shop, after a 10 mile ride on my road bike. I was wearing padded gloves, and kept the bike up. They slowed down looked back, then kept going. I was riding far right in my lane beside the white line, they must have been drunk, high on the phone, or all the three. Or had their head so far up their ass it was sticking out of their shoulders. If they'd been just a half inch to the right it I probably would have gone down hard. The speed limit which I think they were doing was 45mph. Miraculously there was no damage to me or my bike. Not sure about their mirror. Another opportunity to walk in forgiveness, and be thankful.
O"ya I called the cops........Randy @bbb

That's terrible Babe. Share the road, people! My hubby's been hit twice by cars, but they both stopped. He used to have people purposely come over in the median to "scare" him. Don't do that to a man who's adrenaline is pumping!

Yea Maddy people really should learn to share the road. You wouldnt believe the number of cars hit in the parking lot where I work and people just leave the scene. People have no morals anymore or conscious either.

You know I've always been against hit and runs. Its bad enough on the road, but its amazing how many parked cars get hit.
