I just got hit my a car!

hey andrew,

just now i was riding my bike down franklin, crossed into carrboro, and was chugging along when i see a big truck start to pull out. too late! i braked and swerved but the truck slammed into me, anyway. i got a little lucky, as the driver saw me in time to start to brake... so he didn't completely run me over. my back wheel was bent so they took me to back alley and got it fixed.

getting hit by a car is a completely jarring thing. i am still shaky from the experience. i think my ankle is sprained and my knees are sore, but it's not too bad.

so anyway, be careful on franlin/west main around performance bicycles. i think it's hard for cars to pull out around there.
