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.

A tip for cyclists: at least when I bike, I tend to point with a finger rather than an open hand. Even though it's not the convention, I do it so that the more ignorant drivers know what's going on. If the driver in this case wasn't just being an ass, might've prevented it, who knows...

This is why I never ride bikes, they're dangerous.

Come to Holland it is safe to ride bikes here.

I don't see why he'd want to give you a high five, given the signal for left is your hand down, and going right is when you stick it up.

Um, no it isn't. Hand down is 'stopping'.

At least it was your bike that got split in half and not your body.
