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

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Oh, the irony

Sounds like it worked perfectly.

You could have stopped, walked your bike around the ladder, then continued.

'Today, while riding my bike on the sidewalk' I clicked Y.D.I at this point. Cycling on the pavement (sidewalk) is illegal in most countries. Pavements are for pedestrians and those buggy things that old people drive.

You deserved it for riding on the pavement; you should have been on the road. You should also have done a shoulder check and clearly signalled your intention to merge onto the road. Idiot.

you got hit by a car, or you hit a car. I think the latter

Technically you shouldn't be riding your bike on the sidewalk at all. According to the rules of the road a bike is a vehicle and should be driving with the rest of the vehicular traffic.

If you went under the ladder the car would have swerved to the side and hit you anyway.

YDI for riding on the sidewalk in the first place.

What ever happened to "looking both ways"?
