got lorry bang me

so yesterday morning i was riding to work, and as i was exiting PIE, there was a queue so i stopped at the back. as i waited, i saw some bikes zooming past me and travelling on the road shoulder straight to the front.

for a while i was thinking if i should join them, but i thought screw it, it's only a short wait. and just as i decided to stay, BANG! i ended up on the ground. hmmm, strange, it doesn't really hurt (at that moment). so i got up almost immediately.

i turned around to see who that mofo was, and wow it was a lorry! the driver was already apologising from inside, and i told him to come out. "sorry sorry, i totally dozed off!" he said. oh great.

the first thing i did was to call my colleague and tell him i would be late for work as well as ask for tow truck number. surprisingly i wasn't angry with the driver although he is clearly a mofo, not just because he was sleeping, but because HE BANGED INTO ME.

i guess it's just that obviously no one wants to get into accidents so i can't really blame him for this. anyway i got him to help me drag my bike to the shoulder (the same shoulder i should have traveled on and avoided this shit).

i looked at my bike and felt glad that i didn't do it up too nicely or else i would have been quite sad at its current state.

anyway the moral of this story is that SOMETIMES it's good to cut the queue, and NEVER be last in line, because lorries will bang you from behind and hurt your butt.
