Just got my bike serviced today. Was running like a dream.
Then cycling a few streets away from my house cycling clearly in the middle of the road at a good speed. Some stupid women decides to make a fast u turn from the parking bays on the left a metre in front of me.
Queue squealing of my breaks and me banging into the side of her car.
I naturally ask her what the fuck she was doing to which she mumbled something and carried on her illegal u turn and drove off the other way; because hit and run is fine if its a bike. Too in shock to race after or get a number plate.
Nice lightly buckled wheel hopefully nothing else and fat bruise on my arm. Back to the shop again!
