It wasn't an intersection, rather an exit for a strip mall parking lot. Still, I think the main reason I was hurt was because of the lines of giant power poles that are in the middle of the sidewalk; a hallmark of my city. I think they're leftovers from when the area had no need for pedestrian infrastructure, let alone bike lanes, and no one's bothered to bury the lines.

Thanks. Yeah, tomorrow is going to be an acetaminophen day.

Fr lol. I overheard the paramedics saying they were in the same place this morning for the same kind of accident, but that guy dislocated his shoulder or something.

Good to hear, yeah it's probably the wheels. Wasn't that big of an impact, everything's still banged up though (including me).

Two fire trucks, a police car and an ambulance showed up!

That's not "wire" that's barbed wire. Huge fucking difference.

I really like this rather positive outlook.

Nice and quiet down there though.

Defos. Doesn't matter what you're driving, be predictable and you won't get hurt.

I'm on lemmy.ca.

Hello. Nice shot! I would like you to know that I'm jealous.

I don't think a poncho would work very well in regards to air resistance, it would act like a parachute. I bought a thin, neon green cycling jacket from MEC (Canadian REI) that works really well. I still need rain pants though.
