Thank you to the driver who hit me on my bike today at 9:30pm as I was biking to work because he couldn't wait .1 second to get to the Timmies ( when I had the right of way).
This happened at the Tim Horton's on Lauzon and wyndotte, as I was passing the driveway he stopped waiting to turn into the driveway ( with no signal may I add) as i was about half way he decided to step on his accelerator and drive up and hit my right leg and my back tire, leaving me to have more then a few choice words and a flipped finger to him and his GF, and my leg was shaking. my adrenaline was shot. Not only did I have not 1 but 3 white lights on the front ( 1 big one and 2 small on each side, as well as a red flashing light for the back of my bike, but I even had on a safety vest to help allow drivers to see me. and still I got managed to get hit! really... (should of taken his plate down and stuff, but my adrenaline was shot and I had to get to work, I bike from forest glade to downtown)

I understand that drivers hate bikes driving on the road and I get it and people are impatient, its actually quiet sad if you ask me. I hear everyone complain about people riding bikes, and I get it, but bikers have to respect the law just as much as drivers. The law wants us to bike on the road in a bike path, but even that doesn't feel so safe for us. I couldn't even bike on the sidewalk clearly without getting hurt. I do get it, I got annoyed some days when I would drive to work and a biker would be on the road and not able to pass due to oncoming traffic, but I respected the biker as well slow down stayed far behind and passed when clear, bikers are just going where they need to go as well, why can't people respect that.
Driving down riverside drive I stuck to the sidewalks I'm sorry but I'm not taking a chance on my life or getting seriously hurt, but even sticking to the sidewalk, every driver coming out of the side roads tend not to care about the stop signs,not using common sense to look both ways before you go, I get it no one wants to do a complete stop, but even when they do a complete stop they don't take precaution to everything around them and could end up in some serious damage.

Needless to say I am okay, just frustrated and I hope that the driver has a dent in their car, kinda wanted to Hulk smash the hood of the car. =)

Drive safe and bike safe everyone, know that .1 sec of your time can save someone keep that in mind.
