Default BANG!--Dude, you just RAN OVER A BIKER!!!

well i didnt actually run this idiot over but it was close. me n my bro were driving down what is a heavy traffic, 6 lane road near downtown Youngstown. I needed to make a stop at home depot and i was waiting at a stop light eyeing the Home Depot entrance about 60 yards ahead. the light changes and traffic pics up, im the right lane bout to make a right . i slow down a hit the brakes, beginning to turn. About 60% thru the trun i hear a huge slam as somthing pounds into the rear passenger door of my box. o sh*t. i slam on the brakes thinking that somthing fell off a gravel hill at the corner and hit my car. My friend steve looks in his mirror stunned. i thorw the ride in park and run to the back of the car. on the corner i see a bicyclist laying on the ground. i instantly check my car wich was dirty so i couldnt see the damage. as i stood there between my car and the pedrestrian i questioned who need more attention...i went to the car. the biker was moving and that was eneough for me. i checked my easyily scratchable blue onyx pearl paint amazed that there wasnt any massive damage. the biker began apologising all over himself for wrecking into the side of my car. at this point i began to wonder how i didnt see the clown and who in the hell would ride a bike down the hill of a 3 lane each direction highway with no side walk. theres only about 14" of room to ride in the "gutter". so this dude is dressed head to toe in a fruity little spandex outfit , is inspecting his front weel for problems. by this point some gossip loving on looker has pulled in behind me to check on the biker. As i relax and put the whole scene together i realize that the bicyclist was coming down the hill right next to stopped right lane traffic at the light passing about 20 cars. he was goin at least 20mph. when the light turned green and he saw me turing he couldnt stop. so he tried to stop the bike and by the grace of god managed to slow down eneough that only his shoulder hit the door. must of hurt like a b!tch. he continued to apologize over and over as i searched for any minute damage that would merit me beatin him to death. Nothing...amazingly nothing.

long stroy short, too late, he went his way and i went mine. no cops, no damage, just one retard biker and one god loving box owner.

I don't know about the laws in Ohio, but in most states, bicyclists are supposed to follow all traffic laws and use the road, not the sidewalk.

^ha, hes so lucky there was no damage. "In other news, a local man was crushed by a box after inadvertently driving his bicycle into the car's side. Eye witnesses say the man was wearing yellow spandex at the time of the incident."

When I lived back in MI, I was driving to a friends house in the middle of the day and a damned deer jumped out of a ditch and trashed the side of my car. I got out, of the car, and it was laying in the bottom of the ditch, I think it broke its legs cause it couldn't run. I ended up shooting it in the head to put it outta its misery.

Moral of that story? Too bad the bike guy didnt break his legs!!!

heh sorry Im a bit bored today

That bicyclist is lucky he didn't crack his skull open when he hit you. When bicycle fights car, bicycle loses.

When people say "Biker" I keep thinking Hell's Angels / American Chopper / scary giant tatooed mustached person .... not spandex wearing bicyclist.

Looking at your title I kept thinking.... Damn a Hell's Angel guy crashed into you? And he didn't stick a shiv into you for messing up his Harley?!

Default Heading West on Rt.224?

New SL member... new box owner (used 2004 PW).

Live in Columbiana - work in Y'town every other week. Imagine my surprise when I read your post.

If any idiot is biking on 224 or Market witout full body armor or a force field they are a mondo idioto.

Still, glad you both survived without major incident or injury!

Any local Scion club type action in our area?
