So I'm crossing the street, and I swear he glanced over and saw me. But right as I got next to his hood ornament he saw a break in traffic and thought he could go. He gunned it and bammo!
There was no chance of dodging. I did the Heisman trophy pose and stiff-armed his hood, and he hit the brakes before he actually got into my body, but dang, it was close. I got around to the side of his vehicle, we looked at each other, and then he gunned it out of there. Never apologized, never asked if I was okay, nothing. A couple of pedestrians came up and asked me if I was okay, so it was enough of a hit that it got people's attention.
I've got a sore wrist from hitting his hood, so I hope I at least dented it a little.
And I got his plate number, but I'll cut him a break. He just got caught up looking south at the traffic on the one-way and didn't think about a pedestrian coming the other way. But he still should've stopped and said something.

First thing, Glad to hear you are OK.
2nd thing, the guy was careless and a jerk.
3rd thing, It's a damn good thing somebody stole that bicycle and you have not replaced it yet.;)
BTA again, it might be the guy you turned in for stealing that bicycle and he just got out of jail ?:hmmm:
