Call it a truck * crash * boom * bang *

The scariest thing happened to me last night riding me and my bike home.

There I was on my bike with my in ear radioplugs in listening to radio 538 traveling South. It was like my Angel told me to be aware because all of a sudden I was on a collission course with a small DHL truck that came in from the left hand side.



Me on my bike and he in his truck!

My road (the one I was using) bends left and the one he wanted to go went straight ahead but it's not the same road. It's a secundary road to some companies' parking grounds.

He must have thought that I was heading the same way since I didn't signal to go left (with my hand as what we teach our children at school). I felt like I didn't have to signal because the main road was the one I was staying on.

The only thing I had was an elevated heartrate and a tiny scratchmark on my left elbow.
Oh...And some yellow paint on my brake-handle.

Thanks Angel!

holy fuck!
Did you pee your pants?

We were out on our road bikes last night and some asswipe tried to pass a truck by going into the bike lane. Sean was in that lane and I was behind doing a little oh fuck tantra. The car went back into its own lane. Shit, eh

Nope didn't wet myself!
But I guess I'll have to turn down the volume on my nokia-radio or buy rearview mirrors for my bike...

I think I'll go for option 1 becuz it's way cooler!

Wow, glad you're ok. Bike riding at night is hazardous, you dumbasses.

It was early at night (or late afternoon) coming home from work. 5:30 PM so it is as light as it gets kinda night. I guess that dude needs his eyes checked and/or license renewed.

And bike nekkid thru Veenendaal?
I don't think that'll give me a feeling of security...
All those reli-peeps looking at me. I feel a lynching is waiting to happen then!

Parents trying to protect their daughters from me (Mr. Boombastic, call me fantastic...Shaggy). Men looking at me never feeling like a real men after that...

Okay, I let my imagination run freely on this one.
