Hitting people on bikes…

Filed under: Uncategorized — chrisbrewster @ 2:39 pm

You read it right. I was driving through campus this afternoon and I was being careful as always. I passed this cop because he was going way to slow. I get to a stop sign and look to my right, I see nothing, I look left, no cars. I proceeded to make a right when I look forward and I see a dude on his bike right in front of me with a look of pure fear as I’m about to hit him. I hit him. Turns out he was in my blind spot the second I looked over.

I pulled over to get out and offer him lunch and whatever else he needed and I remembered… the cop was still 2 cars behind me. I flipped out. Luckily the dude got right up and just waved me on. I was going to empty out my wallet and offer him lunch, my car, anything he wanted but he was long gone by the time I looked back. I somehow evaded the cop.

To the guy I hit with my bike, I’m sorry and feel like an idiot.

  2. “I see a dude on his bike right in fron of me with a look of pure fear…”

    I let out a “BAA”, because I was about to laugh, but since I was in the computer lab I could not continue.

    This is a really funny story. Khang is right, some pictures would make it complete.

  4. You’re story got me excited. I’m sure Jesus and/or God will forgive you, but the cop probably won’t. You can’t run from the man.
