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

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.

Gripes. Hope that moron's paying for that.

He shouldn't be on the road in the first place. Car drivers pay all types of fees to ride and maintain the roads while cyclist pay nothing for their bikes. And if they own a car they are paying for their car not their bike. Cyclist also cause unnecessary hazards to every day commuters. The road is for commuting not leisure or exercise. Go find a rail trail or something to sport your silly ass rash guard.... pricks. I personally like to do drive real slow behind them like im unable to pass until they pull completely off the road.

Hey, asshole, people ride bikes when they can't afford cars, when they are trying to protect the environment, or when they want to be healthy. Where I live it is illegal for bikes to be on the sidewalk, and there are few bike lanes, and even those you have to cross to turn. I know tons of everyday commuters, who commute everyday by BIKE to help keep carbon emissions low. Go educate yourself, or shut up

FYL. I hope you are making sure they pay for any associated costs.

I know this is nuts, but I'm trying to do a paper for my class on encouraging people to bike. For some reason your FML keeps running through my head when I'm trying to come up with illustrations on why people bike. If you'd be willing to share your experiences and reasons for being a biker, both positive and negative, I'd really appreciate it. [email protected] thanks!

haha sorry but that is ******* awesome!!!

wow the person trying to highfive was stupid but who the hell uses hand signals on bike

Anyone who wants to not get killed learns hand signals. If you PAID ATTENTION, you'd notice that a lot of motorcyclists use them too. I used hand signals today because it was rush hour, I was on my motorcycle, and in the afternoon sun, blinkers (which I ALSO used) are sometimes washed out by the sun. In short, you stay alive on two wheels by being highly visible. Hand signals increase visibility, even if you don't know what they mean. Share the road, peeps.

LOL I just thought of that scene from the 40 Year Old Virgin where he's riding his bike to work doing the hand turning signals.

I know it probably wasn't too good for you, but this made me lol. For a long time xD
