I was just hit by a car on my bike. Actually, it was almost two hours ago, now. I'm not sure if I'm considering it as some horrible ordeal, though, because I don't have a mark on me and I got right back on my bike to finish my mission. What was my mission you ask? CVS before they closed. What was I to get? Cotton swabs.

Hey man, my sister was in a hit and run accident 4 years ago. She was in the hospital for two months and we never found the guy. She had mild brain damage, a shattered left leg and a broken left arm. She has to go to a psychologist twice a week still for post traumatic stress disorder and her life insurance company is still dicking around trying to avoid paying her, she was crossing at a cross walk. She is in constant pain because her leg nerves grew back funny having been cut up so many times from operations. The cops told us if she had gone over the hood of the car instead of to the side and run over she would have been dead
My best friend got hit by a car while on his bike as well. He had a few scratches and bruises, but was fine otherwise. The funny part is that he just got up right away and shot off because he was afraid he would get in trouble by his mom, he was like 12 at the time.
I was hit by a car on a bike as well. I wouldn't say it was life changing or anything either. Just hit me at like 20km/h or something. But I knew the dude so he couldn't run away since we went to the same school lol. I also should have milked him more since I noticed after he drove off my MP3 player was broke in the crash.
Glad to hear you are okay - well, at least until you wake up tomorrow. I remember being in a car accident a few years back and I felt nothing at all that day. The next morning when the swelling hit I couldn't walk from the immense back pain. I suggest you go to a doctor and get things checked out. Even if it is just to cover your bases from a legal standpoint.
I'm glad that you are okay, man. I always bike to and from school and a majority of people can't drive for shit.
" Oh shit, welcome to the "hit by a car" club. I wish Oregon had cool liquor licensing laws like california does. "It sucks, because this is only the second time I've bought alcohol since turning 21, and the guy doesn't even fucking card me. I'm surprised, because my hand was visibly shaking from the adrenaline rush. Maybe it was that look of "it's only downhill from here" in my eyes.
No health insurance! Hell yeah! ...but I'm honestly fine. Literally feel no pain this morning, and no one in the world would have been able to tell I was hit by a car last night. I'm mainly just pissed I didn't notice the damage to my bike right away. More money I don't have." Glad to hear you are okay - well, at least until you wake up tomorrow.

Happy to hear your not dead.
But I just can't help but think could it have been maybe just even the smallest bit your fault? I am just bring is up because I see bike riders running red lites and stop signs all the time. In fact I have almost been in two accidents trying to avoid bike riders running red lites. I am just saying it is not always the drivers fault.
P.S. Someday you will be driving and almost hit a bike rider and you will think god damn they are idiots.

Man, that sucks. It's good to hear that you're okay.
I used to live in a big city, and I saw plenty of people driving like idiots. Makes you wonder how the hell they got through the road test!
A friend of mine got hit by a truck while she was standing on the sidewalk waiting for the crosswalk light to turn signal that it was okay to cross. The idiot in the truck took the right way too sharply and went up about three feet onto the corner of the sidewalk and knocked her over, then sped off as the rest of the people standing there helped her up.
Is it wrong that I'm picturing you as a Terminator, only you really needed those cotton swabs?
" What was my mission you ask? CVS before they closed. What was I to get? Cotton swabs.I love you so much for this response. Followed. Amazing.But sometimes you just really need cotton swabs, you know? So I picked up her license plate and yanked open her door. She says, "I - was about to pull over - to help you," then I said "Take this:," gave her the license plate, then said "Just... be a... fucking... better driver," and the shut her door and rode off to CVS, "
