ssk I got doored by a van in moving traffic a couple weeks ago. Nasty bruises and ugly road burn, but not bad considering and no real bike damage, just a smashed phone. I was expecting him to be a prime A-hole and was about to hurl abuse at him, but he was so shaken up and apologetic that I couldn't bring myself to do it. He gave me a ride home and me 100quid (far more than it was worth) for a new phone, and made sure I had his home address/mobile and license.
I was completely shocked that he was so sincerely apologetic and helpful... especially for a guy in a white van ; )
I suppose being a girl doesn't hurt in these situations.
yeah im sure if it was a man, he would of probably hit them with the door again........maybe he wanted more for his money!!!

Oh, and I got into cycling as an early teenager when my dad said if I wanted a lift anywhere I would have to do housework to 'earn' a lift. Fuck that! So I got on my bike.[/quote]
haa thats good
my dad was big into riding when i was a kid, he used to ride all the time especialy for charity rides my family used to hold. i remember he had a custom ron cooper....(i wounder if hes still got it?) he used to take me and my brothers on rides all around hampshire which was cool. and then i started riding bmx's for a good few years, my dk six pack got stolen by some pikies and thats where my riding ended........untill i moved to london seven months ago, i bought a haro mountain bike with huge triple clamps and thats what gets me around at the mo. im in the process of getting my fixie, i first learnt about fix wheel when i was in the hob in brixton, one of my sisters mates had a 06 langster which i loved....and no here i am trying to learn the ins and outs. every time a bike goes past me i always check if its fixed of not, when it is im happy
