Driven by some snotty yippie woman while I was riding my bike. Took off most of the skin on my left knee, where I can't get some chunks of road out, but overall I'm okay.
Pretty scary though. If traffic had been coming, I would have been knocked into it. A couple weeks ago the exact same thing happened to a 14 year old boy, but in his case cars were coming and he was killed on the spot.
Stay off the sidewalk. If you're scared to ride on a street then don't ride a bike at all. Thanks.
