My Hilsen is out of commission for a little while. Heading on NW Broadway towards the bridge, at Flanders, when a silver VW Golf making a left turn hits me. I go up and over and make a nice dent on the windshield. Roll back down when the car stops and land on my feet (like a cat!) and walk away, a bit dazed.
Cops show up, we have a party with the firefighters, ambulance comes and leaves. Witness gives his story, all the data gets swapped. Front rack is bent, front fork is askew, wheel is tacoed, but everything is fixable. Police officer gives me a ride back to my apartment (hey it turns out cops carry bikes on their cars all the time, by fitting the wheels between the grill and the big external bumper on the front). X-rays turn out okay, no fractures. Everyone at the hospital was great. It was about 8 hours ago and I'm just coming down from the endorphins. I got a malt milkshake (horchata cookie!) to celebrate. Oh yeah, and my helmet is all cracked up. I'll be fine though. Anyway, keep an eye out there...
