Bicycle Austin forum

Yes, that was a friend and here is what she posted elsewhere:

Home and resting. I got hit by a car on 360 just before the Westbank light. I think the guy was frustrated with traffic and just pulled into the shoulder, or was trying to turn into a parking lot that would let him bypass traffic and the light, unfortunately it was right as I was riding past him. Screamed at him and tried to avoid him, but collided with his right front bumper and flew off my bike. Flipped over the handle bars and my right hip took most of the fall. [Medical stuff; she did go to the hospital.]

Had two cyclists close behind me who saw the whole thing, one was an off-duty APD officer and the other was _____. Thanks for helping me.

Feeling very lucky today as the last cyclist who got hit on that shoulder just a few hundred yards away died. I am just going to be sore for a few weeks. (I hope)
