I almost crashed into a bus on my bike.
Through no fault of my own I might add.
I was booking it down Main St. when a bus drove around mem then STOPPED right in front of me!
I had to slam on my brakes but I wasn't going to avoid hitting it. I saw a driveway to my right so I tried to turn BUT physics were not my friend, I wound up sliding sideways up the driveway instead.
I was dusting myself off when a guy exited the bus and said,
"I hate to see that happen but the busdriver and I were proud of ya for making it up that driveway!"
All I could think of to reply with was,
"YAH! *Thumbs up*"
I mounted my bike and tried to ride away as with as much cool as I could muster but my gears got flipped entirely around so my bike made a clunk-clunking sound each time I pedalled.
My knuckles have gravel in them, my pedal gauged a chunk outta my knee, I have road rash on my thigh, and I've gone through an entire box of Band Aids.
Whoo I'm extreme! I need a Mountain Dew.

I had a similar experience once on my scooter. I ended up flipping it over the curb. Didn't get hurt but it messed up the scooter bad. I was pissed. Glad to hear you came through it without any permanent damage.
