Karma is alive and well. Last evening, I was biking down a street with some cars parked to the righthand side of the road. As I am cruising along at about 22mph, some dumbass throws open his door and I miss it by a mere few inches. I yell back at him to watch his door. He curses back at me. Idiot. Here is where I found out that karma is for real. Not two seconds later, another inattentive ass, this time driving a car, takes this asshole's door right off. I had to laugh. In fact, I laughed all the rest of the way home. Hell, I am still laughing about it now.

Hahahaha! You should have turned around and asked if he needed help. Just for grins.

I needed to hear this kind of story today YW. Thanks for sharing it (when is the video coming out?) Wink

Karma is a dish best served hot apparently!

I can't offer something as dramatically funny as YW's but this was a good one; for some reason a guy had decided it would be cool to make fun of me. But just as he was laughing loudest, in his distraction he failed to look where he was going - and walked slap bang into the side of a bus.

I moved on quickly because I didn't want him to see me laughing in turn...

YW, I just had a really shit day, and that made it a bit better. Thank you.

I hit a parked car's door in a similar fashion when I was 8 or 9 years old. I must have been going 10 miles/hour sitting up with no hands when some guy throws open his Pontiac door. The window was down and was no frame so I went half way over the door when the bike stopped.

That was nice, YW! I'm a motorist myself, but I'm still having a good laugh.

I actually had a cyclist fall off his bike while flipping me the bird once, but that wasn't funny because he ended up hurt. Your story involved injured pride, which is much more tasty! Thanks for sharing that.

<br>It could have been a lot worse.

Some condign justice served up for a thoughtless act YW.

Riding a bike on the road these days is like a real life version of Rollerball or GTA. You need eyes in the back of your head and the reflexes of a cat.

Broken glass and potholes below. Psychotic myopians to the left and right.
And where I live we now have those bendy buses that you can get caught out by, when the back swings out as they make a turn.

I saw someones car door get concertinaed down from three feet down to about eight inches when he opened it without looking just as another car went screaming past and too close. Lucky he didn't lose his arm.

Lovely instant karma YW
Round here you need to be young, fit and have psychic ability to ride a bike on the road, what with potholes, roadworks and numpty drivers who never indicate.
Actually that applies to driving a car as well

My most recent instant karma was when it was snowing, the car in front of me slowed down and stopped as the lights changed.
A van behind me undertook us and went on through the lights.
The car in front was a police car.
My joy as the blue light went on was supreme
