I was driving through a little town here in Iowa, you Trekies might have heard of it, Riverside Iowa![]()
Anyway, I was enjoying the weather taking my bike tire to a shop in town. I'm sitting at a stop sign and an old man turns the corner and runs smack into me!!!!
I had enough time to see that he was coming right at me, honk my horn a few seconds, and let go of the break, with my clutch in, so I would roll back a bit. I kept the clutch in because I figured the collision would be a bit less. The old man gets out with a walker and apparently hit the gas and not the break!!!! He also only had a license to drive in town......
Anyway, the collision guy thinks it's got a good $4,500 dollars worth of damage, not much less than what my car is worthThe old man was driving the truck you can just barely see.
