That was due to a car in rush hour traffic not looking before he jerked over and knocked me off my bike and then took off. He saw what he thought was an empty gap that was occupied by me all because he didn't look over his shoulder. It was a hit and run in rush hour and nobody got the plate number. If you tell me that was my fault, then you can go jump in a lake.

It was complete inattentiveness on his/her part and they bolted, leaving me for dead.
I'm not attacking anyone guys, I'm tired, not sleeping well, and this subject seems to be more of a sore spot with me that I realized.
And cool lakes are nice on a hot day...116°...YIKES!
Just everyone do your best to keep the rubber side down fellas and ladies.
