Got pegged by a guy named Fu Wang in his Starlet on the way home on Monday, right in front of the cops, who were driving behind him. He was turning left across the bike lane into a car space, didn't indicate, bumped me with the front corner and I took a relatively low speed tumble.
Cops leapt out, screaming "Stay down! We're calling the ambulance! help is on the way!"
Took a while to convince them I was ok. Not even grazed, bit of a bruised hip. Only casualty was my rear light, which he gave me some cash to replace on the spot. Next morning I noticed a little nick in the seat and bar tape. Cell 1 car 0.
Coppers went nuts though, big lecture for the driver and a fine. Refused to let me finish my ride home cause of the damaged rear light and gave me a lift. Good to know they'll do it all for a bike.
