So I was riding my bike home last night. I had to cross a 4 way intersection. So I crossed on the walk then I got to the second median and started crossing the little walk that goes over the mini on ramp for people turning right. I was about 1/4 of the way across when a black car came speeding out of nowhere. I guess they thought they could cut infront of me so they sped past and the rear end of their car hit the front tire of my bike. It sent me off balance across the walkway where I smashed into a cement retaining wall. I smashed up my knee and flew over my handle barr onto the grass. The car didn't stop. It was a hit and run I'm okay but my knee is sprained and it's very sore and hard to put weight on it but it will heal..

I have two reasons for telling this story. The first is when your driving please slow down and take the time to look for pedestrians and people on bicycles. Getting from point A to point B takes a hell of a lot longer if you hit someone. The second reason it to tell people to always wear a helmet...I wasn't and I was very lucky it was't worse. Also if you can walk your bike across the street. You can stop faster so you can avoid idiots cutting front of you. Just wanted to pass that message along. Stay safe everyone
