He stuck around and gave me his information. I handled it poorly…I was working in the food truck and had a bunch of tickets and was stressed about all the customers being like “where’s my food it’s been 20 minutes!” So I just got his business card and took a picture of his ID. Then he got into it with one of my customers who is a homie and I told him to fuck off.

Wish I had taken a better picture of his truck but in the last one his tire is clearly on the sidewalk. The green paint on his bumper is from the bike rack which took the brunt of the impact. Maybe I should file a police report and get him for damaging city property too but I really hate talking to cops.

Go to a shop, get a replacement estimate - the rear triangle is out of alignment and you can repair or replace.
Sounds like dude is playing ball so try to believe the best in people.

I’ll call the shop tomorrow. They’re only open when I’m at work but maybe I’ll get out early and make it over.
Dude is at least somewhat playing ball…gonna reach out to him too and feel it out. He’s a somewhat-regular at the food truck and is the definition of a man baby so hopefully he doesn’t change his tune. Got 72 hours to file a police report if nothin else

took a break on a chill neighborhood road climb and an uber driver rolled down his window to tell us we were gambling with our lives… presumably by riding our bikes? who says that to someone? really killed my vibe for the rest of the ride.

file a police report because you may need it when you contact his car insurance for repair/replacement to your property that he damaged while driving

Right at the beginning of my commute this morning I rolled through the top of a T shaped intersection and a guy in a truck yelled “STOPSIGN!” at me while he rolled across the intersection without slowing down.
I don’t know why I’m still thinking about it, it was nothing.

Years ago I rolled (okay ran) a stop sign in front of a chud who was also trying to roll it. He yelled something at me so I shouted that he could kiss my ass, and then he shouted back something about “if he didn’t have someplace to be”? I laughed about that for a while

I got stop signed last summer and I still think about it. Good on that guy for actually stopping unlike 9/10 of drivers.

Woman was killed by a box truck in my neighborhood on a section of road that I’ve ridden 1,000 times.
The truck scared her and she turned into parked cars, bounced off and fell under the truck.

Guessing the driver won’t be ticketed because box trucks driving around like assholes scaring the shit out of people is permissible
