Accident, Bikes and Transportation: Rekt

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

BIKES

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.

Everyone who's saying YDI, you are ignorant morons. 148 has it right, if you're on a bike and you're turning left you can't stay in the bike lane which is on the right side of the road. As someone who just got doored a couple days ago by some stupid moron in a taxi who wasn't paying attention, I totally feel for you. OP was probably in the left turn lane, STOPPED, waiting for the light to turn green, which is when the car probably passed him and pulled that brilliant stunt. it's very possible that he could have been flung into oncoming traffic and been killed, which is probably why his bike is in 2 pieces. In Chicago, where I live, it is illegal to ride on sidewalks. To everyone saying that riding on the sidewalk is easier and safer, when you live in very crowded cities, there are hundreds of people milling around on the sidewalks that make it so impossible to get through that you might as well walk because you are going so slow. Also people are stupid and don't get out of the way for you. Cities really need to work on making the bike lanes more prominent and safer to navigate, because as of right now there is really no part of the road that bikers can claim as their own. I agree that lots of times, bikers don't ride safely and don't obey the rules, but i think a lot of that has to do with the fact that there is no place for us to ride safely at our own pace. Also, 103, i appreciate your argument, but let's not be sexist, mmkay?

#30 indeed it is illegal. i don't follow it though all the time, because the roads are narrow. i even biked on the sidewalk when there were cops there, they didn't even look at me xD but yeah, it's definitely not the OP's fault #25 is just stupid
