She made a right turn into me while I was right next to her window, in plain view. She was driving really slow and stopped as soon as she hit me so it wasn't really bad, just the side of my arm bent her side mirror when she hit me. Me and my bike are fine, just an owie.
i had a similar situ once in g-ville, only it was a dump truck operated by the uf physical plant, and after exchanging nods with the guy in the passenger seat, the truck starts executing a right hand turn. thankfully, between the hopped curb and the passenger screaming 'holy shit, that kid!', nothing happened other than some elevated pulses.
glad to hear that you and, perhaps, more importantly, your bike are well off (bones mend, scabs fall off; but it's damn near impossible to bend a frame back into true.)
Ouch, that could've been alot worse. I got pinched between her and the curb when she turned and I was riding a fixie so my pedal hit the curb and I fell into her harder.
