My buddy here at work (John - the only other guy that rides all the time, too) was in an accident this past Monday. Nothing too serious, but it was due to yet another stupid cager. He was stopped at a red light, and the offending idiot was stopped behind him. The light turns green, and the idiot in the cage stomped on the gas, running into John and launching him sideways into a pickup truck that was waiting to take a left.
The good news is John's fine - doesn't even have a bruise, even after colliding mid-air with the pickup truck. The bike has some damage and is at the shop now, getting fixed. The guy who hit him was very apologetic and claimed that his foot slipped off the brake and when he tried to stomp back onto the brake pedal, he hit the gas, instead. Moron.
Be safe out there, and always be on the lookout for the cages...'cause they sure as hell ain't lookin' out for you.
