ESTOY BIEN!!!!

Story of the week: I may or may not have been hit by a car yesterday (meaning I was).

So I was on my sevici bike, minding my own business when I was suddenly hit by an oncoming car from the left and pushed into the street to the right (don't worry it's alot funnier then it seems).

To explain further, there's a spot along the bike lane (which runs directly next to the street) where there's a parking lot. Generally there's not alot of traffic here and they always have to stop for bicicylists and to turn into the street before crossing the bike lane. I was riding along with the street to my right and the parking lot to my left when I saw a car heading toward the bike lane in front of me. I assumed he would stop, like they all do, so I kept going. When I realized he was looking opposite direction the direction I was coming from I started yelling, "HEEEEY," howeverr he didn't hear me. Since he was going to hit me in .05 seconds I ninja kicked/stomped the hood of his car as hard as I could with my left foot as we collided, (when he realized he hit something he hit the breaks instantly) then I somehow managed to swing my legs over the handlebars to the other side and jump off while my bike crashed down and all my stuff fell into the street.

Luckily, this is a funny story (although it could not be if I didn't have speedlightning reflexes and ninja legs) and apparently I instantly screamed, "ESTOY BIEN!" (im good) way too loud as everyone ran to see if I was okay (my roommate was biking behind me the whole time). The driver was freaking out a little but after my constant declaration that I was alright (not even a scratch my friends) I was able to hop back on and pedal off.

Although there was no harm done, I think I'd like to check getting hit by a car off my list permanently.

still alive,
