So I got hit by a car...

[azz0r]

...and I sympathise with Edge!

I was crossing the road, busy two way traffic, dumb thing todo but I'd done it a million times before.

Cyclist is coming down the very middle of the road and not the bus lane, without a seconds thought I stupidly stepped backwards into oncoming traffic and was clipped on the ankle by a car doing roughly 30 mph.

Heres a picture of the result : sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs492.ash2/76575_454927236535_572596535_6037297_6910189_n.jpg

Luckily I only bruised my achilies heel, but it really made me sympathise with Edge who tore his. Its freaking painful and walking around like a cripple has been no fun. I'd be out partying tonight but instead I'm stuck in as I don't want to look like the zombie of the group dragging my sorry ass long.

I've been hit by a car a couple times, it sucks. I feel your pain bro

[DamnYankee]

Did the driver do it for The Rock?

Haha just kidding, dude. I wish you a quick and painless recovery.

I've been hit once by a truck. Good to hear that you're basically alright ...

Correction: A car got hit by azz0r.

All jokes aside, hope you get better.

I was never hit by a car, but I hit one once. I was riding my bike going at a fairly good clip enjoying the bright sunny day and lost in pleasant thoughts then BAM!!!!! I went straight into a parked car. I hit it with pretty good force, enough to make it move a bit (and my body went flying across it).

It hurt like hell, but I got up and got back on my bike and rode off. I was sore as hell for a few days afterwards.

I imagine it did indeed hurt, but the Edge comparison just reminded me of his hilarious Flair sketch.

So you basically did a Wayne's World! Sorry but the visual in my head is funny as hell.

As a kid I hit a school bus once under similar circumstances. The bike I had had brakes that were spotty at best, and once I wound up plowing into the back of a school bus as it was dropping some kids off.

I've never been hit by a car, however, I did do something stupid on a bicycle once.

I was at a friends house and he wanted to go to the store. We get on a couple of bikes he had and he told me mine had no brakes. Whatever. So we get to store and I saw a picnic table. I figure I'll just glide up to the picnic table, let the front tire hit and come to a gentle stop.

Instead, the store was set a little below the road, so I picked up speed, slammed into the picnic table and launched myself over the table and onto the parking lot below. I got up fine and went into the store, where I began seeing a ton of white. I don't recall much, except running into another friend, him trying to tell me something and me unable to respond.

We went back outside, I got the bike back and finally fell the f*** over. Only to hear my friend say, "You ripped the bag! I'll go get another one." And left me. I managed to get up and lay onto the picnic table to gather myself, for 5 seconds or 5 hours, I have no idea how long, before I was in any condition to ride a bike again or stand or think.
