Today, I rode my bike to work. While biking on the road, I gave a hand signal for turning left. A car passing the opposite way veered towards me and attempted to give me a high five. I now have cuts all over my body and my bike is in two pieces. FML

Today, I was riding my bike down a road I know is quite hazardous. Having almost been hit in the same spot the day before, I rode across the intersection very satisfied without having been injured. Until I crashed into the guy front of me and flipped over my handlebars. FML

Idiots on bikes

Today, as I pulled to a halt at a stop sign, a cyclist ripped through the air, slammed straight into my fender, and almost launched over my car. I ended up being cited for reckless driving. FML

Today, while riding my bike on the sidewalk, I came across a ladder. To avoid bad luck, I swerved around it into the street. I got hit by a car. FML

Today, I saw an elderly man fall in a crosswalk, so I jumped off my bike to help. As I helped him across, the light turned green. I then watched across a 6 lane street as someone stole my bike. FML

Today, I rode my new bike for the first time. I made it less than 100 feet from my driveway before I was almost flattened by someone driving on the wrong side of the road. Upside: I managed to get out of the way. Downside: I did it by slamming my brand new, expensive bike into a wall. FML

Show off

By a stupid jackass - 22/06/2012 01:28 - United States - New York

Today, I got lunch with a girl I really like. On the way, for some idiotic reason I decided it would be a good idea to show off by jumping up to high-five the red hand on a traffic sign. I ended up slipping and slamming full-force into the pole. I now have a bruise on my face. FML

Breaking the law (and bones)

Today, I came out from the E.R. with an arm cast and stitches on my head, all because a cyclist ran me over on a pedestrian walkway and got away. FML

Today, I was sent to the hospital after being hit by a car while on my bicycle. The police officer said it was my fault for not looking, even though the car pulled up without looking. I now have a small herniated disc in my neck and abrasions on my thigh. FML

Today, as I was walking to work, a cyclist shot out of nowhere and slammed into me. I hit the ground hard and lay there in agony. The guy quickly dusted himself off, said "Sorry man. It's a vicious cycle." then chuckled at his own stupid pun and cycled away. FML

Today, my bike abruptly stopped working, torpedoing me headfirst into the sidewalk. I lay there in agony for a few minutes, and the only guy who saw it happen said, "Lucky you didn't get hurt!" FML

That totally sucks! More bike riders should use hand signals. They don't have turn-signals on their bike like a car does. I vote its an FYL since the moron driving obviously wasn't paying attention in driver's ed.

#116 is probably right, the driver/passenger knew the what the OP was doing, but thought it would be funny. You ever notice how much stupid shit goes down because of the words "I thought it would be funny"? Hope you got a license plate number, stupidity needs to be discouraged.

This is exactly why I'm terrified of riding my bike anywhere nowadays. What people don't understand is cyclists must share the left turning lane with autos. OP was in the right, using hand signals for his left turn. The driver is an idiot and should have his license revoked.

I live on a college campus where drivers are always shouting at bicyclists to stay on the sidewalk, which is illegal. At the same time, a ton of bicyclists don't bother to follow traffic laws, especially one way streets and stop signs. I've seen bicyclists on sidewalks that can barely ride a bike and I'm glad they aren't trying to maneuver through traffic, but they're most definitely a danger to pedestrians as well. I've also seen bicyclists headed toward large charter buses on one way roads with zero room to pass by and the bicyclist expects the charter bus to give right of way to them. That's just a taste of what I've seen and I fully understand the frustration of drivers and pedistrians alike towards bicyclists, but when someone is following all the rules, don't give them crap about it.

As a cyclist who obeys the rules of the road, it infuriates me to see other cyclists blatantly ignore them. Bicycles belong on the road, but if you aren't going to obey the laws then get off the bicycle.
