bad morning, 倒霉！衰！

I had a totally wrecked morning today. went biking, everything was fine doing 2 laps of Changi coastal route (abt 40 km) and then proceeded to east coast service road and at 55 km, CRASH! i saw this car coming from an exit from ECP, I slowed down, driver stopped and so I started to accelerate, but the driver suddenly drove out and KAPOMP!... smash right into the car and worse still, from the opposite direction, another bike crush into the car and my bike.

thank god, my speed was not fast but bike was damaged.... flat rear tyre, derailuer misaligned, gear handle left side smashed.... i just let go of my bike when i fell and both hands up on my face. now got a 5 cm laceration wound on my left arm, a big bruise on my left hip and cuts on my left knee. but still in one piece. the other cyclist was screaming mad at the driver. he was preparing for Lankawi Ironman next week and his cervelo bike and helmet kanna damaged. but driver and his wife and the two young brothers were pretty shell-shocked and apologetic...

now, need to send my bike (just service like before CNY...arrgghh) for repair and will claim from that driver. hope the damage is still manageable.

am i gonna stop road cycling ?(my wife was scolding me....) my answer... well u will know.

but to all drivers out there, when you drive along east coast service road, plse be careful, and give we the cyclists some respect and space, after all we are all road users. I will definitely be vigiliant and careful, but drivers also must reciprocate lah... not drive like u own the road...

very 衰！

but I will go for the 20km run tomorrow. I dun care. sigh! I missed my target today by 5 km. but thank god I am in one piece.

16 Feb - Bike 55 km ave 34 km/h... at the junction before the accident, 22km/h....CRASH!

arrgghh!
