a bicycle blew through a red light and hit my car this morning. even though it was not my fault i am having a serious case of yuppie guilt. i always look for bicyclists before i open my door or pull out, and i drive behind them and let them have the whole lane. now my super-nice-to-bicycles-lady rep is totally shot.
he seemed fine, which i cannot believe because he flipped completely over my hood and was not wearing a helmet. i practically had to sit on him to make him wait for the ems people to come and check him out. i'm glad i didn't actually run over any of his parts, because then i really would feel bad. he broke off my side mirror, which is going to be $400 to fix. bleh.
he was riding a fixie. who the fuck rides a fixie in seattle? ok, i know lots of people do, but i don't get it. fixies are only acceptable in, oh where is a really flat place, iowa. and even then you have to at least have hand brakes.

And being from Iowa I did indeed have a fixed gear. I had handbrakes though.
