Today is Sunday, 10 February 2013, there is not a cloud in the sky, beautiful day, stunning, not even the small clouds that are common near the horizon.
Today also was the Summer Cycle Carnival, organised by Auckland Transport. So of course I jumped on my Sofrider and spent the last part of the afternoon there. Got these cool refectorised band things that snap around wrists/ankles.
But none of this has anything to do with the title of this post.
On my way home, cycling up Symonds St. a car hit me! A small silver wagon, (not giving more details as I have called the police) this little silver wagon trying to squeeze past me in the lane hit me in the shoulder with his left hand mirror, the fool didn't give enough room to go around me. The car's mirror snapped back, fortunately the snapping back absorbed enough of the blow that I wasn't knocked off. I know he/she knows they hit me, because the car slowed down, I'm guessing long enough to see I was still on my bicycle, then took off. My thanks to the NZ Bus driver in his MetroLink bus for slowing to check I was okay - there is a commendation coming your way.
To the car driver - the police have been called.
Will have to wait until tomorrow to see it a bruise comes up, at the moment everything appears fine.
