Today, while riding my bike on the sidewalk, I came across a ladder. To avoid bad luck, I swerved around it into the street. I got hit by a car. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, when I crossed the street, I almost died because of a careless driver, but when I crossed it again on my way back, I got hit by a bicycle. FML
Today, I was riding my bike down a road I know is quite hazardous. Having almost been hit in the same spot the day before, I rode across the intersection very satisfied without having been injured. Until I crashed into the guy front of me and flipped over my handlebars. FML
Today, my bike abruptly stopped working, torpedoing me headfirst into the sidewalk. I lay there in agony for a few minutes, and the only guy who saw it happen said, "Lucky you didn't get hurt!" FML
Today, I thought I'd be safe by looking before crossing a one way street unlike I normally do. Too bad I looked the wrong way and didn't see the car that hit me. FML
Today, I saw an elderly man fall in a crosswalk, so I jumped off my bike to help. As I helped him across, the light turned green. I then watched across a 6 lane street as someone stole my bike. FML
Today, I missed my bus to school, so I took my bike. The bus that I missed ignored a stop sign on its way back, making me crash into it. FML
Today, I was walking down the street when I saw a friend I hadn't seen in years. I was so excited to catch up with her that I ran across the street without looking and almost got hit by a car. I ended up stumbling out of panic and landed on a pile of trash on the sidewalk. FML
Today, a car was waiting for me to cross the street so I thought it would be funny to slowly limp across the street. When I got to the end, I jumped as high as I could to show I was faking. Turns out I tripped and hit my head hard on the sidewalk. That car took me to the hospital. FML
Today, I rode my bike to work. While biking on the road, I gave a hand signal for turning left. A car passing the opposite way veered towards me and attempted to give me a high five. I now have cuts all over my body and my bike is in two pieces. FML
Today, I was walking from my office to the place I had parked my car, a distance of approximately three blocks. As I was about to round the last corner, I was forced to dive out of the way of a speeding car. When I looked up, I noticed that it was my car. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OP went under the ladder in his mind, giving him the bad luck irony.

You should have just taken the ladder's path. -_-

Sounds like something I would do.

See what believing in nonsense gets you? But maybe if you rode under the ladder it would've collapsed on you leaving a tangled mess of metal and limbs as you careened uncontrollably into that same car.

-____- Really? You honestly thought the chanse of something bad happening would be bigger if you went under a ladder than if you just cassualy swerved into the traffic? Superstition... I'll never understand it.

A real cyclist wouldn't have to swerve into the street, he'd already be there. Are you one of those folks that uses the bottom gear and pedals really fast with no resistance to go about 5 MPH? I see those folks and laugh. I use the high gears and actually put effort into riding, when I ride a bicycle, and I get going a decent enough speed that I have to use the road to avoid accidents with pedestrians. At that speed, cars have plenty of time to see you. I've actually put enough stress on a bike to break spokes (on one of those cheap faux Huffys they sell at ShopKo) from nothing more than the sheer force of starting to go. That sucked because I had to take it to get it repaired before I could ride home. tl;dr: YDI for using a bike as if it was a Segway.

Doesn't seem like such a good idea anyway. Better to brave the thought of bad luck than to swerve onto a road where you have a high chance of being hit. Hope you weren't hurt too badly!
