Goddamn it! Why the bloody hell was the driver doing in the bus lane in the first place!? I was going to turn into McArdle to go to work after class, and like a kiasee biker that i was, I checked my blind spots and signalled WAYYYY in advance, but when i made the turn all i heard was the screech of old tires and then I was flying through the air. Luckily the rightside roll of old NS yore saved my arse, and I managed a not-so-graceful rolling landing on the gravel. I wasn't hurt, but my bike was. The driver whacked my real wheel hard and now its completely warped. Repairs will cost USD 105, which effectively negates 1/2 week of pay. I was stupid not to ask the driver for her contact details; maybe I was too dazed. Damn that fool!. No one ever drives in the bus lane in Madison. What an asshole!
