That was clearly stopped.
lol

please tell me I am not the only one to do this! 

(I will say I was surprised at how well I bounced off the back of a huge peice of metal)

gonnafinish plscheer - 2009-07-01 10:36 AM bruised ego. bruised knuckles and shoulder from ramming into his car

It's pouring rain out and I'd noticed a squeak so I stared down at my pedals to see what it was-  and then WHACK!, lol

The guy was very nice, and I was super apologetic because it was obviously my fault!  he laughed.  I'm sure my face was a nice shade of hot pink.

NeilsWheel - 2009-07-01 10:54 AM We were riding in Herman Park in Houston back when they had a perfect criterium loop.  It was  on  a week day early and the park was deserted.  There was a rule that bicyclists couldn't use the inside lane of the loop since in the past there had been maybe a 100 cyclists racing wildly on the 1 mile loop.  I was riding and passed another cyclist.  He jumped and flew by me.  The gauntlet had been dropped.  I powered to get ahead of him.  I am the fastest cyclists on this route, I thought.  No I am the fastest the other rider thought.  In our zeal we ventured into the forbidden inside lane.  The park policeman saw us and went wild.  He flew by us and turned his car diagonally in front of us to block us. He seriously underestimated our speed and stopping distances.  We both plowed into his car but due to it being at an angle I hit with my right hip and slip all the way up to his spotlight.  It put me in the awkward position of looking straight down at him while still sitting upright on my bike.  I didn't have a scratch on me nor did his car.  After a painful 20 or 30 seconds of silence, I saw beads of sweat start forming on his forehead.  I asked if there was a problem.  He told us we needed to stay out of the inside lane.  I agreed that we would.  We rode off and from that point forward there was peace between the park police and cyclists.
